The early flowering season is approaching!
Low temperatures will continue to dominate in the coming days, which means that no relevant pollen count is to be expected despite the sunshine.
The catkins of the purple alder have already largely faded and only rarely lead to relevant pollen loads in the vicinity of the plants.
In warmer locations such as sunny slopes or in the immediate vicinity of house walls, however, the first hazel bushes can already release pollen and lead to local pollution. The alder species native to this area have not yet reached such an advanced stage of catkin development.
Depending on the region, our models suggest that flowering can be expected between the end of January and the beginning of February.
Other types of pollen in the ambient air: yew and cypress. The allergenicity of these pollen grains can be classified as low.
