Palmas was built as a planned capital on the Tocantins River cerrado, where native cerrado trees, the Palmas Lake shoreline vegetation, and eucalyptus are the main pollen sources. The cerrado dry season from May to September is particularly intense and concentrates pollen dispersal strongly, while the wet season brings frequent rainfall interruptions and the flat cerrado landscape allows wide dispersal throughout this young planned Brazilian capital.

When is pollen season in Palmas?

How often is the Palmas pollen forecast updated?

The Palmas pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Does pollen in Palmas 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 Palmas 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 Palmas, 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.
