Reine, Norway has high levels of pollen during certain times of the year. This causes problems for people with pollen allergies.
Trees produce pollen in early spring, usually in April and May. Birch and oak trees are the main culprits. Pollen counts are highest during this time.
Grasses and weeds produce pollen in late spring and summer, from June to August. This is the second peak pollen season in Reine.
High pollen counts can cause symptoms like itchy eyes, runny nose, and sneezing. People with pollen allergies should stay indoors and keep windows closed during peak seasons.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
