Hay fever sufferers could be hit by 'thunder fever' as temperatures rise
For hay fever sufferers, this could see their allergy symptoms flare up even more especially as experts are warning of “thunder fever”.
According to the Met Office, “thunder fever,” which is caused by the tail end of a tropical storm is not a scientific term, but people with asthma are being urged to be aware of it. "Whether that’s down to airflows or lightning splitting pollen grains open, it’s too early to say, but it’s something that is in active research with our health partners,” the Met Office says.
It is recommended to start taking hay fever medications a few weeks before the pollen season starts and experts suggest using a pollen calendar as a tool.
