Local Environmental Conditions
Spread across the Bjørnafjorden and Os coastal landscape south of Bergen, Bjørnafjorden opens the pollen season with hazel and alder from February before birch peaks through April and May. Grass from surrounding farmland peaks through June and July before mugwort extends exposure into September. The fjord position means onshore winds can periodically disperse pollen, while the very wet Atlantic western Norwegian climate provides very frequent rainfall interruptions throughout.
The annual pollen season around Bjørnafjorden kommune covers the period from April through August, beginning with alder and hazel in April, before birch surges to its highest levels which carries through June. From there, grass pollen continues for June and July. With the extreme seasonal swing between polar night and midnight sun near Bjørnafjorden kommune, the local climate means residents often notice a slightly different pattern than official averages suggest.

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. |
