Local Environmental Conditions
Reaching from the Lustrafjord arm of the Sognefjord towards the Jostedalsbreen glacier, Luster 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 enclosed Lustrafjord setting concentrates pollen under calm conditions, while the relatively dry inner Sognefjord microclimate means fewer rainfall interruptions than in outer fjord areas throughout.
Across Luster kommune, the pollen season begins in April and continues through August, led in by alder and hazel from about April, before birch takes over with a strong peak into June. Grass follows close behind extending across June and July. With the compressed subarctic growing season around Luster kommune, the local climate makes the season feel a little different here than the national average suggests.

How often is the Luster kommune pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Luster kommune 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 Luster kommune 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 Luster 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.

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. |
