We're sorry to say we have some very bad news for asthma and hay fever sufferers.
You've been warned to stay indoors as a "pollen bomb" is on its way to the UK.
We are set to bask in 20C sun this Easter weekend here in Bristol.
And pollen levels will be dangerously high in parts of the UK, putting more than three million asthma sufferers at risk over the Easter holiday period.

Hay fever season has started three weeks early thanks to an unusually warm winter that brought record-breaking highs of 21C and is now being followed by spring temperatures ten degrees warmer than usual.
Birch tree pollen, which affects one in four hay fever sufferers, is being released across the UK after February's record heat.
Tuesday's pollen levels are high in the southeast and moderate or low for the rest of the country.
But from Wednesday and through the weekend pollen levels will be high across most of Britain.
Sonia Munde, Head of Services at Asthma UK, told Mirror Online: “A deadly pollen bomb is due to hit this week, putting people with asthma at risk of a potentially life-threatening asthma attack.
"Around 3.3million people with asthma are affected pollen, which can cause symptoms such as wheezing, a tight chest or coughing.
“Trees have been releasing their pollen for several weeks, but the warm spring weather is going to make these pollen levels spike.
"If you’re already getting symptoms, it’s not too late to help yourself stay well."
Asthma UK suggests sufferers take their prescribed preventer medicine to soothe irritated airways so they are less likely to react to the pollen trigger.
Hay fever medicines such as antihistamines can stop the allergic reaction that triggers asthma symptoms and keep itchy eyes and runny noses at bay.
The charity added: "Everyone with asthma should keep their blue reliever inhaler with them at all times in case of an emergency."
Symptoms
The conditions will affect people in rural areas and cities, where hay fever is made worse by pollution.
One in five people in the UK may suffer from hay fever.
Symptoms include sneezing and coughing, a runny or blocked nose itchy, red or watery eyes, an itchy throat, mouth, nose and ears, loss of smell, pain around the temples and forehead, headaches , earaches, and tiredness.
