POLLEN counts in certain parts of the country could be high over the next few days, causing a trying time for hayfever sufferers.

The Spanish Aerobiology Network (REA), based in Córdoba, says pollen from the olive flower is likely to be particularly rife in parts of Andalucía, particularly Sevilla and Córdoba.

Other affected areas include Aragón, the Basque Country, Navarra and Ciudad Real.

A more moderate pollen count reading will be seen in Granada, Jaén and most of Catalunya.
