Storebø is a small Vestland coastal village in Austevoll municipality on the Austevoll island archipelago south of Bergen where birch, alder, and island farmland vegetation are the main local pollen sources. The North Sea island position means strong onshore winds frequently disperse pollen, while the very wet Atlantic western Norwegian climate provides very frequent rainfall interruptions and birch peaks through April and May before grass from surrounding Austevoll farmland contributes through June and July.

How often is the Storebø pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Storebø 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 Storebø 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 Storebø, 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.
