More and more grasses are ready to flower!

We can expect bright sunshine and summer temperatures up to and including Saturday. As a result, plants will release a lot of pollen and can cause considerable discomfort. Only on Sunday will a change in the weather bring rain and thus relief, at least in the short term.

Exposure to birch pollen is no longer to be expected, as most of the plants have already finished flowering.

However, as beech, oak and walnut pollen can cause cross-reactions in some birch pollen allergy sufferers, symptoms are still possible in the coming days.

The plane tree blossom is coming to an end and only very rarely causes relevant pollen concentrations in the immediate vicinity of large stands.

Lilac and manna ash continue to bloom and can irritate people who are sensitized to the pollen of the olive tree plants. Due to the fact that these plants are insect-pollinated, a relevant pollen load is only to be expected in the immediate vicinity of the plants.

The grass season is in the starting blocks and is causing relevant pollen concentrations in the ambient air in ever larger parts of Burgenland. Foxtail grass, tufted grass, switch grass and bluegrass in particular can cause low to moderate levels of pollution.

Allergy sufferers should avoid the vicinity of rape fields in bloom to prevent possible symptoms.

Conifers have also started to flower and their pollen can already be registered at our measuring points. In the coming days, it is possible that their pollen will cause yellow deposits on cars or window sills. However, neither pine nor spruce or fir pollen can cause allergic reactions.

Other types of pollen in the ambient air: maple, boxwood, yew, mulberry, carnation, rose, horse chestnut, sour grasses and cypress. These are of minor allergological importance.
