Sunndalsøra is a small Møre og Romsdal industrial town in Sunndalen municipality at the head of the Sunndalsfjord where birch, hazel, and steep valley woodland are the main local pollen sources. The dramatically enclosed inner fjord and valley setting concentrates pollen very effectively under calm conditions, while the Atlantic-influenced western Norwegian climate provides frequent rainfall interruptions and birch peaks through April and May before grass contributes through June and July.

Does pollen in Sunndalsøra 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 Sunndalsøra 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 Sunndalsøra, 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.
