Forecast

The pollen season is over, but fungal spores remain a problem!

The week begins with widespread cloud cover across Austria, with the sun making occasional appearances. In the west and south, widespread rain is expected from Wednesday onwards. On Wednesday afternoon, the rain will reach the regions north of the Alps and in the east, although it will be lighter there. Hardly any pollen is now detectable in the air. Fungal spores, however, remain a concern.

There is hardly any pollen left in the autumn air. Only the occasional pollen grains from herbaceous allergenic plants, such as grasses, plantain, mugwort and ragweed, are found in the air from time to time. In built-up areas, the flowering of cedars and late-flowering ornamental grasses is coming to an end. These now cause pollution only in very localised areas. 

Fungal spores, on the other hand, are still present in significant quantities in the ambient air. You should therefore continue to monitor the 4-day forecast.

Should you nevertheless suffer from more severe allergic symptoms in the coming weeks, this could indicate a house dust mite allergy. To clarify this, please consult an allergist.

The team at Austrian Pollen Information will continue to monitor the situation closely in the coming weeks and will resume its forecasting service once hazel and alder trees begin to flower. We estimate that the first model data will likely be available in December.

Until then, we hope you enjoy a period as symptom-free as possible and thank you for your trust during the 2026 pollen season.
