Local Environmental Conditions
Garanhuns rises in the Pernambuco Agreste highlands as the relatively cool Serra do Garanhuns, where native Atlantic Forest remnants, eucalyptus, and coffee plantation vegetation are the main pollen sources. The semi-arid climate produces a compressed wet season from April to August, while the elevated setting creates more variable local conditions than the lowland sertão throughout this Pernambuco highland municipality.
In Garanhuns, eucalyptus and coffee plantation vegetation pollen disperses continuously through the year with no distinct seasonal boundary, though the wet season from April to August regularly interrupts counts with frequent rainfall.

How often is the Garanhuns pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Garanhuns 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 Garanhuns 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 Garanhuns, 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. |
