Set on an island in the Helgeland archipelago, Dønna 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 strong onshore winds very frequently disperse pollen and the subarctic Atlantic climate produces a compressed season with regular rainfall interruptions throughout.

Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.

Are pollen levels in Dønna kommune based on measurements or forecasts?
