Spring-like temperatures and pollen count

Sun, sun and no rain. What the mild temperatures mean for allergy sufferers…

Offenbach – The strong sun ensures mild spring-like temperatures in Germany during the day.

The downside of the weather coin: In many regions, pollen is already flying around. According to the German Weather Service (DWD), hazel and alder pollen in particular will be in the air in medium to high concentrations in the coming days.

“We recommend buying allergy medication for the weekend,” advised a DWD meteorologist on Friday in Offenbach. Because rain, which could knock down the pollen, is still hardly in sight. According to the information, a few drops can only fall west of the Rhine and Ems on Saturday. In the rest of Germany, on the other hand, the deep blue sky of the past few days has mostly persisted.

“The UV exposure is usually only low or medium, but if you go skiing in the mountains, you shouldn’t forget a light sunscreen,” said the meteorologist.

The daily highs rise from 15 degrees on Saturday to up to 17 degrees on Monday. Only in the west and north-west is it a bit cooler – there clouds cloud the otherwise spring-like sunshine. At night there is still frost with values of up to minus eight degrees. dpa
