This week the British have to bake when the temperature rises, but it also means suffering for millions of people suffering from hay fever.
It could become as paired as In places 32C this week when hot air arrives from Iberia and France.

While many people will remain calm children’s pools and with lots of lollipops – many allergy sufferers can stay indoors.
Pollen levels are already very high in four areas: London and the south-east, south-west, east of England and the West Midlands have been hit by the pollen blast.
Tomorrow, these high levels will spread across the country – while in most countries the figures will be very high.
People in the northeast will come out a little whole and will suffer from high levels, and in Scotland – low pollen levels.
These levels are expected to persist until the end of the week, and allergy sufferers are sure to stock up on such fail-safe remedies as nasal sprays and antihistamines.
Hay fever is exacerbated from late March to September – especially when warm.
It has been proven that the summer sun circulates pollen and mold spores, leaving you with reddened eyes and full of sneezes.
Most people tend to open windows in hot weather, so pollen is easier to carry around in your home.
Research show that some are now less resistant than usual to pollen after spending several months indoors due to Coronavirus covid infection locks.
Independent pharmacist Rita Gelani said there are some things you can do to deal with allergies over the next few days.
Her first piece of advice, she said, is to be aware of the amount of pollen and try to prepare for when the level is higher.
She added that you should also close the windows: “Although it is warm and pleasant outside, make sure your home cannot be an allergen so that you have somewhere to escape if necessary.
“You can also invest in a household air purifier.”
Frequent showers to get rid of allergens will also help, as well as changing linens and bedding.
Rita added that you should also avoid using a car air conditioning system unless it is pre-filtered.
“Many car heating and air conditioning devices suck in air from the outside, so it’s good to know if your car’s air system is filtering, or if you risk sucking and circulating pollen and allergens,” she said.
You can also try applying Vaseline or nasal balm to your nostrils to keep the pollen out of your nose.
She added that if you choose a nasal spray, then you should choose a spray without xylometazoline (or oxymetazoline), which works by forcing the blood vessels in the nasal mucosa and sinuses to shrink and narrow.
“Initially, it seems the ingredient helps reduce swelling, reduces mucus production and the overall feeling of congestion.
However, products containing this ingredient should not be used continuously for more than seven days as they may cause a rebound.
“Here the symptoms reappear after their application
stopped. “
“Xlear Nasal Spray is a good alternative that can be used regularly without the risk of rebound congestion and helps restore the natural production of mucus in the nose,” she recommended.
