Occupying the Toten plateau west of Lake Mjøsa near the Randsfjord, Vestre Toten opens the pollen season with hazel from January before birch peaks through April and May. Grass from surrounding farmland peaks through June and July before mugwort extends exposure into September. The relatively open Toten plateau allows pollen to disperse, while the Randsfjord moderates lakeside temperatures and the inland continental climate produces a well-defined seasonal progression throughout.

Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.
Are pollen levels in Vestre Toten kommune based on measurements or forecasts?

Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in Vestre Toten 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.
