Cold snap and precipitation provide relief!

A spring-like warm first half of the week will be followed by a significant cooling in the coming days, which will also bring heavy precipitation. This will provide short-term relief for pollen allergy sufferers. However, by the weekend, the sun may start to shine through again in Burgenland, causing a renewed increase in pollen count.

In fine weather, the ash trees are mainly responsible for the pollen load. But more and more birches have also reached the flowering stage in the past few days and could contribute to an increase in pollution when the weather improves.

In addition to birch, the first hornbeams hornbeams are also ready to flower. Due to their very close relationship, their pollen can also cause additional stress through cross-reactions in people who are sensitised to birch pollen.

In addition to the pollen types mentioned above, maple, yew, poplar, sour grasses and cypress plants are also represented in the pollen spectrum. However, they only have a very low allergenic potential.
