Olderdalen is a small Troms village in Kåfjord municipality on the Kåfjord where birch, alder, and fjord valley woodland are the main local pollen sources. The Kåfjord position means onshore winds can periodically disperse pollen, while the subarctic Norwegian climate produces a compressed but intense seasonal progression with birch peaking through May before grass from surrounding Kåfjord farmland contributes through June and July throughout this Lyngen Alps fjord community.

How often is the Olderdalen pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Olderdalen 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 Olderdalen 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 Olderdalen, 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.
