Bad news for hay fever victims

Swiss weather agency MeteoNews warns however that the spring-like temperatures are set to cause havoc for allergy sufferers.

Cold air and winds coming from the north and east are expected to start up again on Monday - meaning a return to low temperatures is just around the corner.
