Spread across the Orkafjord and Orkdalsfjord coastline, Skaun opens the pollen season with alder from February before birch peaks through April and May. Grass from surrounding farmland peaks through June and July before mugwort extends exposure into September. The Orkdalsfjord position means onshore winds can periodically disperse pollen, while the Atlantic-influenced Trøndelag climate provides frequent rainfall interruptions throughout the spring and summer season.

Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.

Are pollen levels in Skaun kommune based on measurements or forecasts?
