The commencement of Ambrosia's season is underway.
The Ambrosia pollen season has officially begun in Germany, according to the German Pollen Information Service based in Berlin. This season, however, is not causing widespread discomfort across the country, with most regions experiencing very low or sporadic pollen levels.
Anke Kniffka from the Center for Medical-Meteorological Research in Freiburg of the German Weather Service (DWD) explained the increased pollen concentration in Bavaria. Eastern winds have been responsible for carrying pollen from neighboring countries, leading to the increased pollen concentration in Bavaria.
Despite the increase in Bavaria, it's important to note that this is not a consistent trend across all of Germany. In fact, the pollen levels in most of Germany are expected to cause hardly any discomfort.
The Common Ragweed, a highly allergenic species, is now established in Germany. This plant is mainly found in southern Germany, southwestern regions, southern Brandenburg, and Hesse. The highest concentrations of Ambrosia pollen in Germany this pollen season are found especially in southern Brandenburg (Niederlausitz), with notable occurrences also in southern Germany, southwestern regions, and Hesse. Elevated pollen levels were also reported recently in Bavaria due to eastern winds bringing pollen from neighboring countries.
However, the pollen impacts of the Common Ragweed are not yet predictable due to the early stage of the season and insufficient distribution information. The distribution of the Common Ragweed in Germany is not yet specific or predictable, making it challenging to accurately predict the pollen flight.
Allergy sufferers should brace themselves for increasing issues due to Ambrosia pollen, especially in regions like southern Brandenburg and the areas mentioned above. The pollen forecast for Germany does not predict widespread significant impacts of Ambrosia pollen across the country.
The latest weekly pollen forecast for Germany indicates that in most of Germany, pollen levels will remain at very low or sporadic levels. It's crucial for allergy sufferers to monitor the pollen count in their specific regions and take necessary precautions accordingly.
Despite the challenges, experts remind us that we are still at the beginning of the Ambrosia pollen season. As more information becomes available and the season progresses, predictions and trends may become clearer.
