Forecast

Cold front provides brief relief on Tuesday!

In the first half of the week, it will be warm again in late summer on Monday and Wednesday. Pollen allergy sufferers can therefore expect a heavier pollen count. On Tuesday, the foothills of a cold front with precipitation will provide a brief respite.

As long as it remains dry, intensive exposure to ragweed pollen in the surrounding air must still be expected in Burgenland. Although many plants have already passed their flowering peak, the high allergenicity of ragweed pollen means that even low concentrations still cause intense discomfort.

In the coming days, a renewed increase in exposure to mugwort pollen is also expected. This is due to late-flowering members of this genus, which have become much more relevant in recent years.

Moderate concentrations of grass pollen are currently being measured at our monitoring sites. These are due to the reed blossom. Especially in the vicinity of Lake Neusiedl, more intensive concentrations must now be expected.

The concentrations of fungal spores are currently fluctuating between moderate and high levels. After precipitation, there may be a short-term increase in contamination.

Pollen from stinging nettle, hemp, hops, plantain and cypress plants have also been detected in the ambient air. These are of minor allergological significance.
