Weather conditions slow down pollination!
The weather forecast for the next few days promises low temperatures, little sunshine and the odd rain or snow shower. This will significantly slow down the pollen count. Only localized allergic reactions may occur.
Despite the fact that hazel is already ready to flower in almost all of Austria or has already exhausted part of its flowering potential, only minor allergic reactions are to be expected over the next few days. This year's early flowering season is proceeding more slowly than expected, with no peaks as seen in recent years. If the weather situation improves again next time, we can expect a further increase in stress to a moderate level.
The alder trees continue to show a mixed picture. While the gray alders have already begun to bloom in many places, the catkins of the black alders are not yet developed enough to release pollen. The expected pollen load will remain low over the next few days. With the next period of fine weather, the situation is likely to change and lead to an increase in pollution.
Other types of pollen in the ambient air: yew and cypress. From an allergological point of view, these are of little relevance.
