Forecast

The end of the pollen season is drawing nearer; ragweed levels are continuing to fall, and the reed flowering season is also coming to an end!

Despite autumn having officially begun, the weather remains sunny and mild, with maximum daytime temperatures around 25 degrees. In most parts of the country, the pollen season is already drawing to a close. Only in the east are low to moderate ragweed levels still possible, and the reed flowering season may also cause symptoms once again for those allergic to grass pollen.

A brisk wind from the east to south-east may facilitate the long-distance transport of ragweed pollen from south-eastern Europe and cause a further rise in pollen levels, particularly in the afternoon.

The late-flowering mugwort species have also largely finished flowering and now play only a minor role in current pollen levels.

Fungal spore levels remain significant and should not be underestimated by those affected, as the mild and still damp weather provides favourable conditions for spore release.

The pollen spectrum continues to include stinging nettles, goosefoot and hemp plants, as well as ivy, impatiens and cedar. However, these pose only a low allergenic risk.

As the pollen season is drawing to a close, our forecasts will now only be published once a week. Should pollen levels rise again, contrary to expectations, we will of course inform you promptly.
