Caruaru perches on the Pernambuco agreste plateau as the gateway to the sertão and capital of forró, where native caatinga scrub, Atlantic Forest remnants, and eucalyptus are the main pollen sources. The semi-arid climate produces a compressed wet season from April to August, while the long dry season concentrates pollen production and the elevated plateau creates more variable local conditions than the lowland caatinga throughout.

Does pollen in Caruaru 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 Caruaru 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 Caruaru, 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.
