More than half of France on 'red alert' for pollen
Spring has arrived in France - bringing with it sunshine, warmer temperatures, longer days - and rising pollen counts.
For some 30 percent of people living in France suffer with allergies made worse by high pollen counts.
The Réseau National de Surveillance Aérobiologique has placed 62 départements across 11 regions on 'red' alert - the highest level - for high pollen counts, with the north and east of the country are the most affected.
The full département breakdown is available here
Brittany: Morbihan, Ille-et-Vilaine
Normandy: Manche, Calvados, Orne, Seine-Maritime
Pays de la Loire: Sarthe, Mayenne
Centre-Val-de-Loire: Eure, Eure-et-Loir
Hauts de France: Oise, Somme, Pas-de-Calais, Nord, Aisne
Ile-de-France: Essonne, Val-de-Marne, Yvelines, Seine-et-Marne, Paris, Seine-Saint-Denis, Val-d'Oise, Hauts-de-Seine
Grand Est: Marne, Ardennes, Aube, Haut-Rhin, Bas-Rhin, Vosges, Haute-Marne, Meuse, Meurthe-et-Moselle, Moselle, Marne
Bourgogne-Franche-Comté: Yonne, Nièvre, Saône-et-Loire, Jura, Doubs, Côte-d'Or, Haute-Saône, Territoire de Belfort

The birch tree, which started pollinating at the beginning of the month, is responsible for the highest counts.
There is relief on the horizon, however, with wetter weather forecast at the end of the week, which is likely to lead to a dip in pollen levels.
