Forecast

Snow and rain slow down the pollen release in the mountains - high pollen concentrations in eastern and southern Styria possible!

In the mountainous regions of Styria, persistent precipitation and temperatures below 10 °C are expected on Monday and Tuesday. Under these conditions, the inflorescences will largely close so that hardly any pollen will be released. In the east and south of Styria, on the other hand, precipitation will be significantly lower and temperatures will remain above 10 °C for the most part. No noticeable relief is therefore to be expected here - pollen allergy sufferers must be prepared for moderate to high levels of stress.

The flowering of ash, willow and poplar continues in Styria. In areas with high precipitation, the pollen load is low, while it is hardly reduced where there is less precipitation.

Easter decorations can also contribute to the pollution: allergy sufferers with sensitisation to olive or willow plants should avoid flowering forsythia or pussy willow branches indoors, as these can cause relevant pollen concentrations.

In the whole of Styria birch trees an above-average amount of catkins was observed in birch trees. Particularly in the lowlands in the east and south, the number of birches and hornbeams ready to flower is increasing. hornbeams increasing. High pollen concentrations can be expected there quickly in more favourable weather. Accordingly, sensitised allergy sufferers should take precautions during outdoor activities. In the mountain regions, the birch blossom is delayed due to the low temperatures and precipitation and only begins when the weather improves.

In addition to the pollen types already mentioned maple, elm, yew and cypress plants are represented in the pollen spectrum. However, they only have a very low potential for allergic reactions.
