Local Environmental Conditions
Local tree pollen in Bergen traces mainly to oak, birch, and linden in parks and gardens, though the gap between centre and edge can be considerable depending on wind direction. Grass and tree pollen levels here get a boost from the North Holland dune belt and Noord-Holland farmland, unsurprising for a dune-edge village like Bergen.
Bergen sees its first pollen of the year from hazel and alder in January, with birch taking the lead through April and the season extending to August. Oak and ash follow in April and May, and grass pollen takes over as the dominant source through June and July. Air movement here is affected by the North Holland dune belt, and the artists' colony history and nearby beach resort adds a local wrinkle to the Bergen pollen picture.

How often is the Bergen pollen forecast updated?
The Bergen pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Bergen 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 Bergen 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 Bergen, 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.
Airmine’s atmospheric monitoring platform was developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team, using satellite and Earth observation technologies to improve emissions monitoring.
Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
