Health weather

Predictions of health-relevant parameters (air pollutants, pollen, UV radiation).

The following link will take you directly to the health weather portal. The individual sections of the portal are explained and linked below. 

Air pollution

Air quality is an important factor for wellbeing and quality of life. GeoSphere Austria provides daily ozone and particulate matter forecasts, as well as the Air Quality Index.

Air Quality Index

The Air Quality Index (AQI) is an indicator of pollutant levels and can therefore be considered as a measure of the effects of air pollution on human health.

Desert dust

Desert dust can be transported over long distances and impair air quality.

Pollen

The pollen load forecast serves as information and a decision support for those affected by pollen allergies.

UV exposure

The UV exposure forecast serves as a guide for taking sun protection measures.
