Sunny start to the week, with rain possible from the middle of the week!

The week starts sunny and dry in Styria. In these weather conditions, the pollen can still fly unhindered and cause moderate to high levels of pollution. From Wednesday, the first localised precipitation may arrive and spread to the whole of Styria by Thursday. The rainfall may provide relief for pollen allergy sufferers, but how much relief will depend on the amount of rain.

In the higher elevations of western Styria, there are only a few blooming birches. Here they can still be a nuisance locally. In large parts of Styria the walnut, oak and beech. They are already past the peak of their bloom, but can cause cross-reactions in people who are sensitised to birch plants.

In western and southern Styria manna ash and lilac have also passed the peak of their bloom. Nevertheless, allergy-relevant pollen concentrations can still occur in their surroundings.

In the lowlands of Styria, the horse chestnut blossom is progressing. Due to their relationship, they are of particular concern to people with sensitisation to maple pollen pollen. The plane trees have finished flowering and only cause minor exposure.

Rape is also in bloom in the fields of Styria. Pollen levels can be significantly higher in the vicinity of these intensely yellow flowering areas, which is why sensitive people should avoid these areas if possible.

Panicle, couch grass, cock's foot grasses are already flowering in Styria and are causing the first relevant stress for people allergic to grass pollen. At higher altitudes, the grasses still need some time to flower.

Note: At the moment, a yellowish film of dust can be found on car roofs or window sills. This is pollen from conifers such as spruce, pine and fir trees. From an allergological point of view, it is not relevant. However, as this pollen occurs in high concentrations in the ambient air, it can lead to mechanical irritation of the conjunctiva and respiratory tract.

In addition to the pollen types already mentioned, maple, larch, rush and cypress pollen is currently also found in the air. However, these only have a low allergenic potential.
