Intense stress due to grass pollen flight!

While there may still be isolated rain showers on the public holiday, the sun will increasingly prevail until Sunday and it will remain dry from the current perspective. Weather conditions are therefore expected to allow an intensive pollen count. Allergy sufferers must be prepared for a weekend with heavy pollen count.

Grass pollen will be particularly intense. In Vienna, the measurable pollen concentrations will be caused by smooth oats, couch grass, grasshoppers and bluegrass.
However, there is also a relevant pollen count along the rye fields around Vienna. Due to the greatly enlarged pollen grains caused by cultivation, dispersal by the wind is only possible to a limited extent, so rye pollen and that of other cereals only causes allergic stress in the immediate vicinity of the fields.
The flowering of dock and plantain can further intensify the impact.

The lime and vine buds are already well developed. More and more lime trees will begin to blossom in the coming days. However, it will still take some time before the blossom covers the whole area. From an allergological point of view, however, the pollen from these plants poses little danger. Only the scent of lime trees can cause irritation in sensitive people.

Nettle pollen can also already be detected at our measuring stations, but it only has a low potential to cause allergic reactions.

The first relevant concentrations of fungal spores have been registered at our measuring points. For the time being, however, they only reach low concentrations in the ambient air.

Other types of pollen in the ambient air: umbellifers, yew, spruce, pine, goosefoot and buttercup plants as well as elderberry, mulberry, clove plants, robinia, sour grasses, fir and cypress plants. These are of minor allergological importance.
