Forecast

The rain will be followed by sunshine again from Thursday!

Allergy sufferers can breathe a sigh of relief in the first few days of the week. Up to and including Wednesday, rain will provide relief in most parts of Vorarlberg. From Thursday, the sun will be out more often again, which will also intensify the pollen count.

Moderate levels of grass pollen can then be expected again, not only in the valleys but also in forests and at altitudes above 1,500 metres above sea level. However, the peak of the grass pollen season has already passed.

Dock and plantain are also in bloom and can cause additional pollution near meadows. Stinging nettles also bloom in areas heavily influenced by humans; their pollen can irritate sensitised people.

As soon as the rain subsides and the sun shines a little, a sharp rise in fungal spore concentrations to high levels can be expected.

The pollen spectrum is currently relatively stable. For this reason, the frequency of text forecasts will be reduced to once a week for the coming weeks. However, our team at polleninformation.at will continue to monitor the situation on an ongoing basis and will, of course, send out appropriate information should there be any changes to the expected levels. The monitoring centres operated by us and our colleagues will remain active in order to keep all the services provided, such as the hourly allergy risk, up to date.

Other types of pollen in the ambient air: umbellifers, goosefoot and buttercups as well as cloves and cypresses. These are of minor allergological importance.
