Current pollen report for Tyrol

Peak of the birch pollen season – high allergenic burden across Tyrol!
Over the past week, pollen production and dispersion have remained elevated across Tyrol. We are now in the main phase of the pollen season, with several tree species flowering at the same time.
Birch pollen: The birch pollen season has now reached its peak. Birch is currently the dominant allergenic pollen type, with high to locally very high allergenic loads recorded across the region. This year, the birch pollen season is particularly intense, and many allergy sufferers are experiencing strong symptoms. Only periods of precipitation can temporarily reduce pollen concentrations. In addition, hornbeam and hop hornbeam are flowering and can reach moderate pollen levels. Due to cross-reactivity with birch pollen, these species may trigger or intensify allergic reactions, particularly in urban areas and parks. Oak pollen is also present and increasing; although generally less allergenic, it may contribute to symptoms through cross-reactivity with birch pollen.
Ash pollen: Ash pollen remains present and continues to contribute to the allergenic burden. Moderate concentrations are observed across the region.
Plane pollen: The concentration of plane pollen is likely to increase in the coming week, particularly in areas with plane trees such as urban avenues.
Other pollen types: Pollen from the cypress family (Cupressaceae) are present in the air but they have a low allergenic relevance in Tyrol.
Situation at higher altitudes: At higher elevations, the allergenic burden is still lower than in the valley bottoms. However, pollen levels are gradually increasing there as vegetation development progresses.
We are currently observing high to very high birch pollen loads across most of the region, making this a particularly challenging period for individuals affected by pollen allergies. Pollen levels are expected to remain high in the coming days. Cooler weather and periods of precipitation may provide temporary and local relief, but overall conditions remain challenging for allergy sufferers.
