Low pollen count, moderate fungal spore count!

The second half of the week will remain mainly cloudy and dry. On Saturday, there may be some rainfall in the Rhine Valley, which will reduce pollen levels. Following these showers, fungi will release more spores, meaning that short-term spikes in spore levels may occur. There is currently very little pollen in the air. At our monitoring station, isolated pollen grains from ragweed, plantain and stinging nettle have been detected. Ragweed is highly allergenic, meaning that even a few pollen grains per cubic metre of air can trigger symptoms. Ragweed is found in Vorarlberg along the main transport routes in the Rhine Valley. Reed flowering and late-flowering ornamental grasses can also cause localised pollen levels.
