Current pollen report for Tyrol
March 27th 2026
A break for allergy sufferers as snow reduces the pollen load!
Following last week’s report, a significant change in the weather conditions has occurred across Tyrol. Current snowfall and cold temperatures have strongly reduced the pollen concentrations in the air. In many areas, especially where snow cover persists, the allergenic burden is currently very low.
Early bloomers such as alder and hazel have largely finished their flowering period in the valley bottoms. During sunny spells, pollen levels from ash may temporarily increase. However, the overall allergenic burden is expected to remain minimal in the coming week.
Alder and hazel pollen: The pollen concentrations are now very low, as the flowering period has come to an end in most lowland areas.
Ash pollen: The ash pollen season has begun, but current cold and snowy conditions are limiting the pollen release. Only very low concentrations are being recorded at present. However, during sunny and milder periods, such as expected tomorrow (Saturday), pollen release may increase temporarily. Forsythia is also now in bloom. Although it belongs to the Oleaceae family like ash, it is not an important airborne allergen. Reported symptoms are usually due to ash pollen in the air or very close contact with flowering forsythia.
Birch pollen: Birch catkins are progressing towards maturity, but the current cold and unsettled weather is preventing significant pollen release. No birch pollen has been detected in our pollen traps so far.
Other pollen types: We are also detecting pollen from poplars, elm, the cypress family, and willow, but these have low allergenic significance.
Situation at higher altitudes: At higher elevations, snow cover and delayed vegetation development mean that no relevant pollen load is present, and no allergenic risk is expected.
Overall, the pollen levels are expected to remain low in the coming days and throughout the next week. Short-term increases may occur during sunny spells, but the general situation remains favourable for pollen allergy sufferers. We will continue to monitor developments closely and keep you informed with regular updates.
