Allergy season is upon us and for those that suffer it is not a pleasant time of year. There are some things you can do though to reduce the impact that these have on you.
The main reason for allergies this time of year is because of the pollen that is coming from flowering trees and plants and when these get inside your home or office space, the effects can be amplified. This is because they then mix with the allergens that are inside; these include dust, mould spores, mites and animal fur.
With a little bit of effort it is possible to reduce the effects that all these causes have on you starting with paying attention to the pollen counts. When it looks like it is going to be high, try to stay indoors as much as possible. At your office there is always the air conditioning unit that you can switch on to stay cool rather than opening a window. Continue reading →
Yesterday was officially the start of spring but it still feels like winter although we like the fact that it is staying lighter for longer!
This time last year, we were all in our gardens with flip flops and the air conditioning on. This year we still have the heating and jumpers on. This doesn’t look like it is going to change in the near future as this week it is predicted that we may see some small snow falls in some parts of the country. The rest of us will see sunny spell with the odd patches of rain. It is also predicted that we will have fog and frost and the most noticeable will be the wind chill towards the end of the week.
As we live in hope for warmer weather we can be thankful for the clocks going forward which will mean longer days so we will at least have the impression that summer is nearly here. The north will be worst affected by the cold and the south may see some resemblance to a spring time in terms of temperature.
Although predictions can’t be accurate this far in advance there are indications that April will have a chill to it which after the lack of sunshine last summer time this will be disappointing. We hope to see the sunshine soon! Let us know your plans for the summer buy tweeting us @GTRefrigeration
