Fossbergom is a small Innlandet village in Lom municipality in the Ottadalen valley where birch, hazel, and valley farmland vegetation are the main local pollen sources. The enclosed Ottadalen valley concentrates pollen under calm conditions, while the very dry inland continental climate means minimal rainfall interruptions and birch peaks through April and May before grass from surrounding mountain farmland contributes through June and July in this dramatic Jotunheimen approaches community.

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 Fossbergom 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 Fossbergom, 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.
