Sandane is a small Vestland town in Gloppen municipality at the head of the Gloppefjord arm of Nordfjord where birch, alder, and valley farmland vegetation are the main local pollen sources. The enclosed fjord head setting concentrates pollen under calm conditions, while the Atlantic-influenced but partly sheltered Nordfjord climate provides frequent rainfall interruptions and birch peaks through April and May before grass contributes through June and July.

When is pollen season in Sandane?

The season then shifts to grass pollen through the summer months of June and July. With the combination of high peaks and deep fjords surrounding Sandane, the local climate gives the season here a somewhat different character than nearby districts.
How often is the Sandane pollen forecast updated?

The Sandane pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Does pollen in Sandane 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 Sandane 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 Sandane, 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.
