Narvik is a small Nordland port town in Narvik municipality on the Ofotfjord where birch, alder, and steep fjord-slope woodland are the main local pollen sources. The Ofotfjord position means onshore winds can periodically disperse pollen, while the subarctic climate produces a compressed but intense seasonal progression with birch peaking through May before grass contributes through June and July and the season ends earlier than in southern Norway throughout this iron ore port.

How often is the Narvik pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Narvik 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 Narvik 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 Narvik, 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.
