Local Environmental Conditions
Storsteinnes is a small Troms village in Balsfjord municipality on the inner Balsfjord where birch, alder, and fjordside farmland vegetation are the main local pollen sources. The enclosed inner Balsfjord setting concentrates pollen under calm conditions, while the subarctic continental Troms inland climate produces a compressed but intense seasonal progression with birch peaking through May before grass from surrounding Balsfjord farmland contributes through June and July.
Pollen in Storsteinnes covers the period from April through August, starting with alder and hazel pollen already by April, followed by a sharp birch peak through June. Grass follows close behind over June and July. With the brief but intense summer light this far north, the local climate gives this particular area its own seasonal quirks worth knowing about.

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