Current pollen report for Tyrol
April 11th 2025
Birch alert: high allergenic burden!
Birch pollen. We are currently observing medium to high birch pollen loads across the region, with the exception of higher altitudes above 1500 m. The allergenic burden has been particularly intense this week and is expected to persist through the weekend. In addition, airborne pollen concentrations from hornbeam, trees commonly found in gardens and parks, can reach moderate levels. Due to cross-reactivity with birch pollen, hornbeam pollen can also trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals to birch, potentially worsening symptoms during this period. Only the rainy spells forecast for the coming week may offer temporary relief for those affected by pollen allergies.
Ash pollen. We are currently recording a moderate overall allergenic burden across the region, with the exception of higher-altitude areas such as Obergurgl. As for birch allergy sufferers, individuals sensitive to ash pollen should also take precautions, as moderate levels are expected to persist in the coming days.
Hazel and alder pollen. The overall allergenic burden in the region remains low, as the hazel and alder pollen seasons are ending.
Other pollen types. We are also detecting pollen from poplars, the cypress family, and willow, but these have low allergenic significance.
Stay informed and take precautions. Staying informed about the pollen loads in the region is key to managing allergies effectively. Keep an eye on our updates and remember to take necessary precautions during this pollen season to minimize discomfort and enjoy outdoor activities to the fullest.
