Cold weather conditions dampen pollination!

The weather forecast for the coming days promises everything from cloudy to sunny. However, the temperatures will mostly remain well below 5 degrees Celsius and therefore won't allow a widespread pollen count, although many catkins of the early bloomers would already be able to dust.

We can therefore expect only minor allergic reactions to hazel and alder pollen across the board. If, contrary to expectations, the sun comes out for a longer period of time, there may be moderate local exposure in the short term, but this will probably only rarely be the case.

As soon as temperatures rise above 5 degrees Celsius again, there may be an increase in exposure. The alder blossom will probably play a greater role here, as many hazels have already largely exhausted their flowering potential.

Other types of pollen in the ambient air: yew and cypress plants. From an allergological point of view, these are of little relevance.
