Forecast

Hardly any pollen in the autumn air, but fungal spores remain a problem!

The week begins in Styria with cloudy skies and occasional sunny spells. From Wednesday, a rain front will move in, bringing widespread rainfall. As temperatures drop, the changeable weather will persist until the weekend. As long as the sun is shining, isolated pollen grains from herbaceous allergenic plants, such as grasses, stinging nettles, mugwort, ragweed and plantain, may still be present in the air; however, these no longer exceed the irritation threshold. In built-up areas, the flowering of cedar and late-flowering ornamental grasses is drawing to a close. These now pose only a very localised risk.

Fungal spores, on the other hand, can still be found in significant quantities in the ambient air. You should therefore continue to monitor the 4-day forecast.

Should you nevertheless suffer from more severe allergic symptoms in the coming weeks, this could indicate a house dust mite allergy. To clarify this, please consult an allergist.

The Austrian Pollen Information team will continue to monitor the situation closely in the coming weeks and will resume its forecasting service once hazel and alder trees begin to flower. We estimate that the first model data will likely be available in December.

Until then, we hope you enjoy a period with as few symptoms as possible and thank you for your trust during the 2026 pollen season.
