Brasília commands the central Brazilian cerrado plateau as the purpose-built federal capital, where native cerrado trees, eucalyptus, and the Lake Paranoá shoreline vegetation are the main pollen sources. The cerrado dry season from May to September is particularly intense and concentrates pollen dispersal strongly, while the wet season from October to April brings frequent rainfall interruptions throughout this remarkable planned capital built on the cerrado.

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