Baffled Londoners complained of tight chests, red eyes, and brain fog.

Despite Met Office forecasting low pollen levels, park-goers said they were left 'choking' on thick clouds of pollen.

One TikTok user described the situation in London Fields , a park in Hackney , as a 'pollen tsunami' Met Office predicts the upcoming pollen count by combining measurements of pollen in the air with predicted weather patterns.

Between 15 and 20 per cent of people in the UK are thought to be affected by hay fever.

Symptoms typically begin in childhood and persist for the rest of their lives.

But some people appear to develop condition suddenly and without any obvious reason.

No-one knows exactly why hay fever can appear out of the blue.
