Birch in full bloom - still high exposure, especially in the mountainous regions
In the lowlands, ash trees have already finished flowering and birch trees will soon follow. Here, however, the sweet grasses are ready to bloom, the first pollen grains are already in the air and are likely to cause initial discomfort for people with grass pollen allergies.
European beech and oak have started to flower and their pollen could exacerbate the symptoms of sensitive people.
In the higher altitudes of the mountain regions, the exposure to birch pollen will continue for a while, while the amount of ash pollen is already decreasing. Grass pollen is also slowly starting to bloom in the mountain regions, so allergy sufferers should avoid meadows in sunny locations.
Also in the pollen spectrum: oak, hornbeam, copper beech, sour grasses, larch, horse chestnut in the lowlands.
