The precipitation at the beginning of May brought a little respite to allergy sufferers but also favored the growth and development of grasses. With the return of warmer and sunny weather this Ascension week, the risk of allergies rises to a high level, warns the RNSA.
We missed the sun and the pollen for a lot of months. However, with the return of sunny days and heat over this long Ascension weekend, grass pollens are also preparing to make a comeback, warns the National Aerobiological Surveillance Network this Tuesday, April 7 in a press release ( RNSA).
“The precipitation at the end of April-beginning of May favored the growth and development of grasses. The return this week of sunny and warmer weather will lead to the release of high concentrations of grass pollen into the air”explains the RNSA.

Allergy sufferers must follow their treatment and prepare for “complicated weeks”, since grass pollens should remain present throughout France until August. During this period, episodes of air pollution may exacerbate the symptoms of allergy sufferers. Only rain showers will be able to bring them a little respite by leaving the pollen on the ground.
Along the roads and in the fields
As a reminder, grasses are the herbaceous plants that we see growing along roadsides and in fields. Several are very allergenic, such as timothy, bluegrass, ryegrass, cocksfoot, fescue, fuzz, rye, oats, and even wheat.
Grass pollen has a strong allergenic potential, causing many ocular, nasal and even respiratory symptoms in allergy sufferers.
