And Glasgow residents should stock up on allergy products - according to Kleenex's Pollen Count tracker, Glasgow is expected to have high levels of pollen on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
From today, the Met Office warn of: "Increasing amounts of grass pollen, airborne on warm, dry sunny days. Nettle pollen also increasing. Spores: Cladosporium increasing"
The tracker has also warned that grass pollen is expected to be the worst over the weekend in Glasgow.
Even if you are away from grass and trees, pollen can still cause an impact in the city.
Speaking to Glasgow Live, Robert Bradshaw, Pharmacist Manager and Lead Clinical Pharmacist at Oxford Online Pharmacy explained that the pollution that cities produce only make hay fever worse.
He said: "Lower quality air (increased pollution) can irritate the eyes, nose and throat and in combination with pollen can make your symptoms worse.
"There is poorer air circulation and along with higher ozone levels this can cause further problems. Particulate pollution will trap the pollen near the ground where it is more easily breathed in making symptoms worse.”
He added: “High temperatures and low wind speeds keeps the pollen near the ground and is always worse first thing in the morning and in the early evening."
