Local Environmental Conditions
Sandefjord's coastal setting on the Oslofjord features birch, oak, and alder as the main tree pollen sources in parks and along streets, with exposure varying between green areas and the more built-up city centre. Surrounding Vestfold farmland and coastal woodland contribute substantial tree and grass pollen, while the fjord position means onshore winds can periodically disperse pollen across the historic whaling city.
Sandefjord works through a pollen season that extends from February all the way through August, with the first releases of alder and hazel starting around February, with birch soon overtaking as the main source lasting through May. Grass pollen extends the season through the June-July stretch. With the fertile lowlands of eastern Norway around Sandefjord, the local climate means local conditions can matter as much as the calendar month itself.

How often is the Sandefjord pollen forecast updated?
The Sandefjord pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Sandefjord 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 Sandefjord 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 Sandefjord, 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. |
