As Euro 2016 kicks off and supporters from all over the world prepare to support their team, grass pollens are heading into a stormy week.
Euro supporters, prepare your handkerchiefs! While the rain has punctuated the weather for the last few weeks, the pollens are returning and the grasses are making a comeback, according to the forecasts of the National Aerobiological Surveillance Network (RNSA) published on Friday. At issue: warmer temperatures and sunny weather forecast this weekend, and early next week.
A boon for the pollens which will disperse en masse. But although a slight lull is forecast for next week, with significantly wetter weather, grass pollen will remain at a high level. Île-de-France, the south of the Atlantic coast, the Côte d’Azur and Corsica, will be particularly affected, so be careful. The entire territory will also experience the full flowering of these herbs.
Oak and olive tree will still be there
As for urticaceae, plantain and sorrel, they will always be present, but the risk of allergy will not exceed the low level. Tree pollen “is essentially limited to the Mediterranean basin, spared by rain. Oak and olive will still be there, but less and less active, underlines the RNSA. Note, the lime trees come into bloom, these heavy pollens could be responsible for local allergies. “. Be careful with allergic people, whose treatment must be continued even if the weather is humid, recalls the RNSA.
