Still no widespread pollen concentrations in the air!

In the coming days, a warm front will move across the country from the west and may create conditions there and along the northern side of the Alps that will allow localised pollen counts. The foehn wind expected this week may also favour this. In the east of the country, on the other hand, it will remain colder, so allergy sufferers can still expect some relief there.

Due to the weather conditions of the past few days, the pollen count in large parts of Austria has come to an almost complete standstill. The catkins of the purple alder are also still showing some flowering potential on our reference plants. In particularly cold locations, however, the catkins may have frozen and are therefore no longer able to release pollen. However, localised contamination in the vicinity of the purple alder cannot be completely ruled out.

The catkins of the more widespread grey and black alder in this country are still firmly closed and, according to our model data, will probably only start to flower in February. The native tree and shrub hazels are behaving in a similar way. We will continue to keep an eye on the development of the plants and will inform you in good time as soon as the first signs of flowering readiness are recognisable.
