Local Environmental Conditions
Mehamn is a small subarctic Finnmark coastal village in Gamvik municipality on the Nordkinn peninsula where birch scrub, coastal heath, and tundra vegetation are the main local pollen sources. The Barents Sea coastal position means strong onshore winds very frequently disperse pollen, while the Arctic climate produces an extremely compressed season with birch peaking very briefly through late May and June before sparse grass contributes through July in this remote northerly community.
Pollen in Mehamn is bookended by April and August, starting with alder and hazel pollen around April, before birch pollen takes hold most strongly and staying strong through June. Grass pollen then carries the season across June and July. With the compressed subarctic growing season around Mehamn, the local climate shapes a locally distinct version of the broader Norwegian pollen season.

When is pollen season in Mehamn?
How often is the Mehamn pollen forecast updated?
The Mehamn pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Mehamn 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 Mehamn 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 Mehamn, 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. |
