We provide here pollen forecasts and recommendations, that are based on our scientifically evaluated data and our expertise. It is our aim to inform persons concerned by pollen allergies in Vienna in a most comprehensive, accurate way and free of charge.
Current pollination
LEGEND
Due to current cause:
Although the early-blooming trees and shrubs in Vienna are currently preparing for their winter dormancy, the catkins are already being prepared for next year. The male catkins produce pollen and are formed in the summer. They continue to grow considerably until they start to flower. Continuous phenological observations are necessary to record both the timing and intensity of flowering.
The Pollen Service Vienna at MedUni Wien is staying on top of things.

Pollen and spore season finally over!
The late-autumn weather no longer allows for pollen release. Also fungal spores (Cladosporium, Epicoccum, Alternaria) are only detected sporadically in the air. With that, considerable concentrations are no longer expected and this year's allergy season ends.
You can find the typical pollen seasons in our pollen calendar.
The GeoSphere Austria is our partner for weather forecasts and weather data. We are grateful for the professional interchange and the cooperation.
Video Highlight: Ragweed (Ambrosia) pollen from the plant to the microscope slide
After activation, data will be sent to YouTube. Further information here: Data protection
Here you can see the process of embedding ragweed (Ambrosia) pollen. A panicle that is already flowering is tested in the field for pollen release and packaged. In the laboratory, individual flowers are then embedded on a microscope slide and the ragweed (Ambrosia) pollen is examined under the light microscope.
