Current pollen report for Tyrol
April 26th 2024
Pollen's comeback! The pollen returns with the sun.
Birch pollen. The sun not only brings warm temperatures, but also an increase in pollen. While the current pollen load from birch is low in our region, we expect an increase in the pollen loads in the coming days. Our data indicates that the birch pollen season is slowly coming to an end in the lower valley areas, where we now observe only low concentrations. However, birch trees are still in bloom at higher altitudes, and although pollen concentrations are currently low, localized allergenic levels may rise to moderate levels. Additionally, pollen loads from oak and beech trees are currently low but are expected to potentially reach locally moderate levels in the coming days. It's important to note that beech and oak pollen can trigger cross-reactions in birch pollen allergy sufferers. For those affected by birch allergies, allergenic burdens may still reach moderate levels depending on their location, especially in higher altitude regions where vegetation periods are slightly delayed compared to lower valleys.
Ash pollen. We are now measuring only low allergenic burdens caused by ash pollen.
Plane pollen. The concentration of plane pollen is generally low; however, the allergenic burden can increase surrounding the avenues where plane trees are present.
Grass pollen. The concentrations are currently low. We keep you updated on any developments.
Spruce and pine pollen. One can observe large "pollen clouds" coming from forested areas. Furthermore, sulphur-coloured pollen accumulations are also noticeable on various surfaces such as cars, window sills and puddles. These pollen types do not cause allergic symptoms to pollen allergy sufferers, but they can cause a foreign body sensation in the eyes.
Other pollen types. We are also registering pollen from walnut, cypress family and willow among others, although these are of low allergological significance.
