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.

How often is the Bergen pollen forecast updated?

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.
