Why is that the weather has become much colder, we have winds and plenty of rain yet the pollen count is still high - 9. Does not make sense.
Anyone know the answer?

Hi Piglets - it is my chest - usually when weather gets cooler or there is rain, I improve. With me as count goes up I go down and vice versa!!! OH is very puzzled, keeps saying you shouldn't have trouble now!!!!

I know when count is high, I waken up coughing!

I'm always worse in wet weather...I don't know if it's the humidity or the fact that the wind and rain are blowing the pollens out. I'm usually far better in sunnier weather (unless I'm anywhere near a rapeseed field, then it doesn't matter what the weather is doing).

My poor son was caught out at school, he had forgotton to take his c******In on Tuesday and his eyes were puffed up so badly he could hardly see.

I think its been bad this year and was earlier

I think that PP is right and once it rains it brings pollen down to a lower level which affects more people.
