Burfjord is a small Troms village in Kvænangen municipality on the Burfjord where birch, alder, and fjord-side scrubland are the main local pollen sources. The subarctic West Troms fjord position means onshore winds can frequently disperse pollen, while the subarctic oceanic climate provides regular rainfall interruptions and birch peaks through May before grass contributes through June and July and the season ends earlier than in southern Norway throughout.

How often is the Burfjord pollen forecast updated?
The Burfjord pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Burfjord 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 Burfjord 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 Burfjord, 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.
