It’s getting warmer, but hay fever sufferers have difficult days ahead

The late spring is set to hit hay fever sufferers extra hard because of the overlap of the birch and grass pollen seasons.

Hay fever expert Letty de Weger told RTL news the next few days will be difficult for sufferers as the temperature heats up. Birch trees have bloomed late because of the long winter and now it is getting warmer, grass is also starting to flower.

Although Saturday will be a little cooler, Sunday will be a warm, sunny day and it will be up to 20 Celsius in the early part of next week.
