Ahead of the weekend, airborne allergens expert, Max Wiseberg has warned: "High pollen counts are forecast for this weekend and Monday across the West Midlands region."
He added: "The grass pollen season usually peaks in June and July, so high pollen forecasts this weekend mark the start of the peak season.
