High pollen count today?

    Just downloaded the Asthma Coach app, (from asthma.ie) to avail of the pollen count display. I tried to get a pollen count from met.ie, but the date on the page was the 8th of August?:confused:

    Anyway, I'm including a screenshot which shows that the pollen count is high today. I would have thought that the pollen count would be low at this time of year? (maybe it's the balmy weather). As a hay fever sufferer, this explains why I have such a stuffy nose and headache.

    Stupid immune system. Fighting pollen when it poses no danger.

    It's the first time I tried to find an app that shows pollen count, but maybe someone knows another? The Asthma Coach app required account registration and some personal info to set up.

    It's probably due to all that ploughing that's going on.

    Have you any monetary connection with the Asthma Coach app?

    No, but I have a seasonal relationship with hay fever.

    Met Eireann only publishes pollen alerts from June to early August.

    Which is pretty ridiculous since we can get warm sunny weather anywhere from the start of May to the end of September. If I had hayfever or asthma I'd be a bit annoyed by it.

    Aaaah, all that fresh air... and the stench of manure from the fields...

    There's something so Irish about it.

    In fairness that is the Pollen season so you are only going to get alerts within those months and it's tree and mostly grass pollens that affect most.



    This image describes it well.

    You are relying on this app rather than the met services. Where are they getting their data?
