Set on the Vesterålen island of Langøya, Bø in Nordland opens the pollen season with alder from March before birch peaks through May. Grass from surrounding island farmland peaks through June and July, while the Norwegian Sea island position means onshore winds can frequently disperse pollen and the subarctic Atlantic climate produces a compressed season with regular rainfall interruptions throughout.

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 Bø kommune based on measurements or forecasts?
