I am looking for an App where I can achieve the following for my Atopic Asthma but, sadly, I cannot seem to find one for the UK (Greater London).
- Get Grass/Tree/Weed Pollen Data
- Get Dust and Mould Data
- Log Peak Flow Readings and Symptoms
- Log Medication
Has anyone found anything that can do all these things?
I have found Apps that require Healthcare Invitations, Apps that do not have accurate data etc.
Sorry,I havent
Hasn't DEFRA got anything?
I use pollen pal by Kleenex for pollens. It grades low medium high.divides into trees, weeds, grass and then you can tap to find out which weeds etc are prevalent at that time.
I didn't know anything like this was available! Does anyone know if there is something that rates the humidity of an area? We are potentially moving next year with my OHs work, and I'd like to find if I am likely to be better or worse than in our current location!
The met office weather site has humidity levels.
I know you can find out the humidity for the current period by looking at the week's forecast, but can you find out in general how humid an area is compared to the rest of the country? And if so, where is this information?
I use the BBC for weather forecast, pollen, pollution, humidity & pressure. Just google 'BBC weather & add the town or village ', when your order comes up scroll down to below the weather for the rest. I use it a lot when travelling to other parts of UK so I know what to pack.
What I mean is can you find out which areas have highest levels of humidity in general, not week by week. For example, I know that parts of Britain have a much higher annual rainfall than others - is there any way of checking humidity/fog etc on an annual basis?
I understand that, I'm giving the only information I know.
Weather-atlas (.com) will show you the annual humidity for a given town, along with other weather data, it is free to use.
I use an iOS app called Pollen which has a basic diary feature & gives daily pollen level alerts too. The University of Worcester has a free to use a pollen calendar which shows the levels of different types of pollen by area, which I found interesting.
Thanks, that's really helpful.
hi, I think your best bet is to find the things you are looking for on a couple of websites and then record that information on an Excel spreadsheet or similar
I’d love one too as I have the same allergies and the Met office stops showing pollen counts now as apparently “we’re out of pollen season” which is unfortunate for us that have hayfever out of season
The pollen season ends at the of September, but you might be triggered by fungal spores, as I am. Aspergillus and Penicillium types for example, are active all year.
The University of Worcester has a free to use a fungal spore calendar & a separate pollen one, which shows the levels of different types of pollen by area, which I found interesting.

Thanks I will check it out.Yep tree and grass pollen in spring then mould and fungi in autumn are the worst times for my hay fever even taking fexofenadine all year round doesn’t always help
It’s a total pain isn’t it! I’m on fexofenadine year round too, which helps much more than anything else I’ve tried, but yes, spring & autumn are definitely the worst times.
Yes I know what you mean, I have severe allergies including the dreaded aspergillum, I find the University of Worcester's site very helpful along with Accuweather and the Met Office. If I'm visiting a new area I hit google and gather as much info as possible as I have been caught out before and ended up very poorly, apart from that I don't personally know of one site that does all, I'd love to know about one if such exists. 😀
