Forecast

The peak of the birch pollen season is already over!

The weather forecast promises some clouds for the first half of the week and isolated rain showers in Burgenland on Tuesday. Temperatures will also not reach the 20 degree mark. As long as it stays dry, however, we can expect the allergy levels to remain high.

Even if the birch blossom is already very advanced, some places may continue to experience moderate to high levels of birch pollen. However, it can be assumed that the levels will decrease over the course of the week and the birch season will slowly come to an end.

However, even if the birch pollen concentrations are already subsiding, cross-reactions with beech, oak, grove and hop hornbeam come.

If you are sensitised to olive tree pollen, you should avoid lilac bushes, which are now widely in flower, as they belong to the same plant family. Although the flowers are insect-pollinated, pollen can also be present in the air in the immediate vicinity.

The plane tree blossom causes an intensive pollen count in the parks and residential areas of Burgenland. Particularly along plane tree avenues, complaints are to be expected.

In climatically favoured locations (sunny slopes, green areas in the city), flowering panicle grasses have already been sighted. In their vicinity, sensitised allergy sufferers may experience initial symptoms. However, flowering is not expected to start across the board until the beginning of May.

In addition to the pollen types mentioned above maplesour grasses, and cypress plants are also represented in the pollen spectrum. However, they only have a very low allergenic potential.
