Occupying the Skjervøy island and outer fjord area of northern Troms, Skjervøy opens the pollen season with alder from March before birch peaks through May. Grass from surrounding island farmland peaks through June and July, while the Norwegian Sea outer island position means onshore winds can frequently disperse pollen and the subarctic Atlantic climate produces a compressed season with regular rainfall interruptions throughout.

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 Skjervøy 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 Skjervøy 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.
