Local Environmental Conditions
Canindé commands the Ceará central sertão as one of northeastern Brazil's most important religious pilgrimage cities, where native caatinga scrub, mandacaru cactus, and sparse drought-adapted trees are the main pollen sources. The very semi-arid climate produces an extremely compressed wet season from February to May, while the long dry season strongly concentrates pollen production and the open northeastern sertão landscape allows very wide pollen dispersal throughout.
Canindé produces pollen year-round given its equatorial setting, with native caatinga scrub and mandacaru cactus pollen present throughout; the wet season from February to May brings the most frequent rainfall interruptions to an otherwise steady pollen presence.

How often is the Canindé pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Canindé 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 Canindé 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 Canindé, 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.

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. |
