High pollen levels forecast for Suffolk

A high level of pollen is forecast to sweep across the East of England today.

Allergy sufferers in Suffolk may experience reactions as the Met Office and the National Pollen and Aerobiological Unit have confirmed a high level of grass pollen in the air.

Nettle, dock, and plantain pollen could also trigger hay fever symptoms.

Alternaria and medium Cladosporium spores will be present in warm conditions, while Leptosphaeria spores will appear after rain.

Today is the only day with high pollen levels with the rest of the week set for medium levels.
