Brejo Santo lies in the Cariri region of Ceará at the foot of the Chapada do Araripe, where native caatinga scrub, irrigated agriculture, and the elevated chapada vegetation above contribute the main pollen sources. The semi-arid climate produces a compressed wet season, while the dry season concentrates pollen production and the Chapada escarpment creates locally different conditions throughout this Ceará Cariri municipality.

How often is the Brejo Santo pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Brejo Santo 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 Brejo Santo 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 Brejo Santo, 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.
