Ålesund's coastal setting on the Norwegian Sea features birch, alder, and pine as the main tree pollen sources in parks and along streets, with exposure varying between green areas and the more built-up city centre. Surrounding Møre og Romsdal coastal woodland and the surrounding fjord and island landscape contribute substantial tree and grass pollen, while the very wet Atlantic climate provides frequent rainfall interruptions to exposure throughout the season.

How often is the Ålesund pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Ålesund come from nearby or far away?

Studies show that most pollen exposure (often 70–90%) comes from nearby sources, such as local trees and vegetation. A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.

Are pollen levels in Ålesund based on measurements or forecasts?

Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.

Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in Ålesund, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.

This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.
