Previous pollen counts

[Kit]

Where can I find archives of daily pollen counts over the last year?

er, why?

Ignoring the previous frivolous answer Kit, your best bet is to contact the National Pollen Research Unit which is based at University College Worcester. Their web site is; http://pollenuk.worc.ac.uk/
They should be able to give you any information you need.

Cheers, mikewall01, I'll try there.
In answer to Hahabonk's question - my toddler has breathing problems, and has been in hospital 6 times over the last 12 months. She has had numerous investigations, including various allergies, cystic fibrosis and a load of weird and wonderful rarities, all of which have so far drawn a blank, except for a persistent shadow on her left lung. Her problems are very variable and she gets breathless and coughs for no apparent reason (they don't think it's asthma, by the way), so I wondered if by chance it was pollen-related. Hubby has hayfever, but is very sensitive so even if the pollen count is only 1 he still gets symptoms. It's no good trying to correlate times when he's bad and times when she's bad, because he's bad continuously from May to Sept, poor lamb. I wondered if she's less sensitive, or sensitive only to certain types, and only reacting when the pollen count is particularly high or a particular type of pollen is about. Bit of a long shot, but anything to get her sorted out.
