Occupying a coastal peninsula on the inner Vestfjord, Hamarøy opens the pollen season with alder from March before birch peaks through May. Grass from surrounding coastal farmland peaks through June and July, while the Vestfjord coastal position means onshore winds can periodically disperse pollen and the subarctic Atlantic climate provides regular rainfall interruptions throughout the compressed spring and summer season.

Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.
Are pollen levels in Hamarøy kommune based on measurements or forecasts?

Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in Hamarøy kommune, 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.
