Pollen allergies affect many people in Finnsnes, Norway. Symptoms include sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and congestion. These symptoms occur when the body mistakenly reacts to pollen.
Finnsnes has two main pollen seasons. The first season starts in late March and ends in early May. This is the birch pollen season. Birch trees produce a lot of pollen.
The second pollen season starts in late May and ends in mid-July. This is the grass pollen season. Many types of grass grow in Finnsnes, releasing pollen into the air.
Pollen counts are highest on warm, windy days. Rainy days have lower pollen counts. Staying indoors on high-pollen days and keeping windows closed can help reduce symptoms.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
