Pollen information for Carinthia for the period from 5 to 12 February 2026
Cold, snow and rain delay the flowering of alder and hazel!
The persistently low daytime temperatures, combined with rain and snowfall, are delaying the flowering of alder and hazel. This means that no allergenic pollen count can occur in Carinthia during the forecast period.
Only a significant rise in temperature over several days will be able to trigger the start of the dusting of the two early bloomers. An allergenic pollen count will therefore not occur until the second half of February at the earliest. The first allergic effects will occur in the vicinity of locations with a favourable microclimate - these include south-facing slopes in the Klagenfurt basin and south-facing slopes in the low mountain ranges of Carinthia.
The purple alder, which is planted as an avenue and park tree in cities, is about to start flowering - but precipitation and low daytime temperatures are currently preventing pollen release.
