Forecast

Changeable weather also causes fluctuating exposure at the weekend!

Mugwort pollen can lead to pollution in urban regions.
Fungal spore production will benefit from the expected precipitation at the weekend.

After several days of sunshine, occasional precipitation is expected in the near future, which could provide at least short-term relief.

Grass pollen will usually only cause low levels, with moderate levels still possible only at higher altitudes.
In the immediate vicinity of maize fields, there may be local exposure in the coming days. However, as the pollen of this plant is very large and sinks quickly after release, widespread contamination is not to be expected.

Mugwort is beginning to flower and is therefore already causing low levels of exposure. If the weather conditions are suitable, it can be assumed that the contamination will peak in mid-August, as is the long-term average.

Fungal spores are registered in high concentrations and can lead to intensive exposure, especially after rainfall.

Other less allergologically relevant types of pollen in the ambient air: dock, rushes, goosefoot, sour grasses, plantain and cypress.
