Different pollen levels in eastern and western Austria!

In the first half of the week, the picture in Austria is divided into two parts. In the eastern provinces, low temperatures and occasional precipitation are still keeping the pollen count in check. In the west of the country, the sun is shining more often, temperatures are rising to spring-like levels and the pollen count is increasing.

In the east of Austria, therefore, only low to moderate levels of birch p ollen are to be expected over the next few days. Only with the expected improvement in the weather from Wednesday is a rapid increase in the pollen count to be expected. In the west of the country, high to very high levels of birch p ollen are to be expected in the ambient air in the first half of the week.

The impact of ash pollen is similar. Moderate levels are to be expected in the east of the country and higher levels in the west.

The flowering of hazel and alder is already over in most parts of the country. Only at higher altitudes in the immediate vicinity of these plants can there still be relevant pollen concentrations and thus pollution.

In the cities, the first plane trees may bloom with the next rise in temperature and cause considerable allergic complaints, especially along plane tree avenues.

For some time now, the flowering readiness model has also been providing initial data for this year's grass season. From today's perspective, flowering is expected to begin across the board from the beginning of May. Particularly at the beginning, some of the model data still shows a wide range of fluctuation and will only become more reliable as the season progresses.

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