Glasgow weather as Met Office increases pollen risk amid rising temperatures

The Met Office has issued an update on the city's pollen warning amid rising temperatures which will see highs of 18C across the city.

Yesterday (April 19) saw weather forecasters predict only a 'moderate' level until Friday for those living in Glasgow and the surrounding area - however this has since been upgraded.

As a result, the pollen warning now stands at the 'high' level.

In total there are five pollen levels according to the Met Office and in order this includes: no significant pollen, low, moderate, high and very high.

Both today (April 20) and tomorrow will see the 'high' level remain where the pollen warning will later be reduced to 'moderate' on Friday and Saturday.

It will then increase to 'high' yet again on Sunday (April 24) and later downgraded to 'moderate' again from Monday.

Tree pollen currently in the Strathclyde area - covering Glasgow- includes ash and birch whilst the spores include pleospora.

So what does the weather look like for the week ahead?
