Thursday set a new record for the warmest day of the year in London, reaching a temperature of 21C. This warm weather aligns with the spring equinox, which brings generally dry and sunny conditions. However, high air pollution warnings have been issued, particularly in London, alongside concerns for those allergic to birch pollen. The Mayor has urged residents to take precautions. The Met Office notes this is part of a larger trend, with tree pollen levels on the rise due to last year's weather conditions.
The pollen season has already started and people with a sensitivity to tree pollen may have noticed the early tree species in the air.
I urge Londoners to look after themselves and protect those with conditions such as asthma. This includes refraining from engine idling and burning wood or garden waste.
