Forecast

The weather will bring relief at the weekend!

However, some sunshine is still expected up to and including Friday, which means that allergy sufferers can still expect to be intensely affected by the pollen count. Only an approaching cold front on Saturday will bring significant relief with falling temperatures and precipitation.

However, as long as it remains dry and warm, birch pollen allergy sufferers must expect high to very high levels of pollen, as a lot of birch pollen can already be released, especially in thermally favorable locations.
The hornbeam, which is also in bloom, can cause additional stress for many birch pollen allergy suffer ers due to cross-reactions.

In addition to birch, ash blossom also continues to cause stress. This olive tree species is currently flowering in many parts of Burgenland and can lead to high levels of exposure. However, the end of the main stress phase is slowly being reached.

With the next improvement in the weather, the first plane trees can bloom. This tree is often planted in cities as an avenue tree and can cause very high pollen concentrations there, which can lead to considerable allergic symptoms.

Other types of pollen in the ambient air: maple, yew, rose, willow and cypress. They are of minor allergological importance.
