Caraguatatuba extends along the São Paulo northern coast in the Serra do Mar foothills as part of the Litoral Norte resort area, where native Atlantic Forest trees, restinga coastal scrub, and the steep Serra do Mar escarpment vegetation are the main pollen sources. The very wet Atlantic Forest coastal climate provides very frequent rainfall interruptions, while the tropical climate supports year-round pollen production throughout this São Paulo northern coastal resort municipality.

Does pollen in Caraguatatuba 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 Caraguatatuba 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 Caraguatatuba, 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.
