ITN said:
Hayfever sufferers are being warned that a giant pollen cloud covering much of the North Sea is heading this way.

The pollen cloud is being blown across to Britain on high winds from Scandinavia.

Hundreds of people in the north of England have reported a fine yellow dust settling on their cars and homes.

A Met Office spokesman said a new generation of satellites were producing images that confirmed a large plume of "dust" was being blown from the east.

Forecasters said a wet April followed by a warm, sunny early May had produced record levels of birch pollen in Denmark.

"The explosion of birch pollen in Denmark this year has been caused by near-perfect weather conditions over the last few weeks," said the Met Office spokesman.

"A late start to the pollen season, a wet April followed by a warm, sunny early May have combined to see birch catkins releasing an enormous amount of pollen grains over just a few days."
