Candeias lies in the Bahia Recôncavo coastal industrial zone west of Salvador near the Todos os Santos Bay, where native Atlantic Forest remnants, mangrove vegetation, and introduced industrial complex trees are the main pollen sources. The tropical climate supports year-round pollen production, while the coastal bay position means onshore breezes can periodically disperse pollen and the wet season provides the most frequent rainfall interruptions throughout.

Does pollen in Candeias 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 Candeias 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 Candeias, 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.
