Forecast

Unstable weather can provide short-term relief!

The weather forecast for the second half of the week is extremely unstable. Sunshine and rain alternate almost daily and thus ensure strongly fluctuating pollen loads.

Despite the unstable weather conditions,ragweed is still the main allergen. Although more and more plants are passing the peak of flowering, intensive exposure must still be expected, weather permitting.

Looking at the pollen measurements from previous years, a renewed increase in exposure to mugwort pollen is expected in the coming days. This is due to late-flowering members of the genus, which could cause another relevant pollen count in the coming days. Until then, however, only low concentrations of mugwort pollen are to be expected.

Moderate concentrations of grass pollen are currently being measured at our monitoring sites. These are due to the reed blossom. Especially in the vicinity of Lake Neusiedl, more intense concentrations must now be expected.

The pollen spectrum also includes plantain and stinging nettle. Their pollen can cause additional pollution.

The concentrations of fungal spores currently fluctuate between moderate and high levels. After precipitation, there may be a short-term increase in pollution.

Pollen from hemp, hops, balsam and cypress plants have also been detected in the ambient air. These are of minor allergological significance.
