Reaching into the upper Sira valley highland of Vest-Agder, Sirdal opens the pollen season with hazel from February before birch peaks through April and May. Grass from surrounding mountain farmland peaks through June and July before mugwort extends exposure into September. The elevated Sira valley concentrates pollen under calm conditions, while the relatively dry highland climate means fewer rainfall interruptions than in coastal locations throughout this ski resort municipality.

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 Sirdal 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 Sirdal 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.
