Pollen forecast for Salzburg on 13 May 2026
The grasses are ready to flower, but the cool and damp weather is providing some relief for allergy sufferers!
Grasses are ready to flower across the whole region, and the forecast rain will provide some respite over the coming days. However, as the weather improves and temperatures rise, an initial wave of grass pollen is expected. Pollen from sorrel and plantain will also be present in meadow areas.
Green alders are flowering at higher altitudes, with pollen also reaching the lowlands via long-distance transport. Birch flowering is now also coming to an end at higher altitudes, from around 1,000 metres. The flowering of European beech and oak is also subsiding.
Spruce and pine pollen is being released in large quantities. These pollen grains are relatively large and often form yellow coatings on smooth surfaces, known as ‘sulphur rain’. Conifer pollen is not significant in terms of allergies, but can cause mechanical irritation of the mucous membranes due to the size of the pollen grains.
Other pollens in the pollen spectrum:
maple, walnut, horse chestnut. People with allergies should avoid direct contact with lilac and elderberry.
