Local Environmental Conditions
Occupying the northern tip of Andøya in the Vesterålen archipelago, Andøy opens one of Norway's most compressed pollen seasons with birch from late May. Grass from surrounding island farmland peaks through June and July, while the Norwegian Sea island position means strong onshore winds very frequently disperse pollen and the subarctic climate means the season ends earlier than in southern Norway throughout.
In Andøy kommune, the pollen season covers the period from March through August, led in by alder and hazel around March, with birch soon overtaking as the main source which carries through June. The season then shifts to grass pollen extending across June and July. With the maritime climate that moderates temperature swings near Andøy kommune, the local climate means the timing can vary from what neighbouring districts experience.

Does pollen in Andøy kommune 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 Andøy kommune 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 Andøy kommune, 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.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
