Issued on August 24, 2024
The flowering of grasses in the lowlands is coming to an end.
The pollen concentration of grasses is also slowly decreasing at higher altitudes.
In the meadows, meadow herbs such as plantain and dock and - especially on ruderal areas - goosefoot and mugwort are mainly in bloom. Mugwort contamination has reached or exceeded its peak. The mugwort blossom will be a nuisance from mid-August, the entire flowering period can last into the fall and repeatedly cause discomfort.
The main pollen producer at the moment is stinging nettle, although it hardly causes any problems for sensitive people.
Due to the constantly changing weather phases between wet and dry, the concentration of fungal spores is very high.
Information on our own behalf:
The ragweed pollen season is also just around the corner! Although this only plays a minor role in Salzburg, if you would like to help us and other allergy sufferers to reduce exposure during this year's season and document locations with ragweed growth, you can report ragweed populations in your area via the Ragweed Finder app or online at ragweedfinder.at!
