Pollen count forecast for the period from July 25 to 31, 2024

With the gradual fading of grass pollen in the valleys and basins of Carinthia, the herb flowering phase is now beginning. In addition to species such as plantain, dock, nettle and goosefoot, which have already flowered, the dusting of mugwort(Artemisia) will become increasingly important. This plant grows as a so-called ruderal plant preferably on fallow land, rubble heaps, building sites and roadsides. The mugwort pollen flight season is concentrated in the last days of July and throughout August.

Mugwortpollen has a high allergological effect. Exposure is already possible in the morning and mid-morning hours near flowering crops.

With the beginning of the flowering of maize, people allergic to grass pollen should avoid the immediate vicinity of its fields.

The ragweed pollen season is also just around the corner! If you would like to help us and other allergy sufferers to reduce exposure during this year's season, you can report ragweed populations in your area via the Ragweed Finder app or online at ragweedfinder.at!
