Spread across the upper Slidre valley in the high Valdres, Øystre Slidre opens the pollen season with hazel from February before birch peaks through May. Grass from surrounding mountain farmland peaks through June and July before mugwort extends exposure into September. The elevated Valdres highland setting means the season begins slightly later than in lower Valdres municipalities, while the mountain valley concentrates pollen under calm conditions 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 Øystre Slidre 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 Øystre Slidre 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.
