Thunder fever is very common at times like these and can cause symptoms similar to hay fever or asthma - including sneezing, coughing, itchy and red eyes, loss of smell, pain around the temples and forehead, a tight chest or shortness of breath. The difference is that the symptoms brought on by the thunder and lightening weather conditions are usually much more severe than the other conditions. The air before a storm can cause an unusual type of humidity, worsening symptoms for hay fever sufferers - but the thunder fever is said to be 'more allergenic than normal pollen', significantly worsening symptoms. What is thunder fever? Thunder fever is extreme hay fever and is comes when thunderstorms and ahigh pollencount coincide and create the phenomenon known as "thunder fever". The condition is expected to impact millions of people who already suffer from hay fever or asthma symptoms, and some believe things have been worsened by the pollen count rising due to climate changes. Previously, Good Morning Britain doctor Sophie Farooque said the resulting effect is a sharp rise in the potency of pollen grains, marking one of the most intense allergy seasons to date. Doctor Farooque further warned how sufferers should avoid taking 'first generation" antihistamines and opt for new versions of the treatment instead.

The weather forecaster warned people to prepare for heavy rainfall, lightening and floods and urged people to remain safe as the weather changes. From later today){kind=link}
