Paulo Afonso commands the Bahia São Francisco River valley at the famous falls as a major hydropower centre, where native caatinga scrub, riparian gallery forest along the São Francisco, and dam reservoir shoreline vegetation are the main pollen sources. The very semi-arid climate produces a compressed wet season, while the dry season concentrates pollen production and the São Francisco River contributes distinctive riparian pollen throughout.

How often is the Paulo Afonso pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Paulo Afonso 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 Paulo Afonso 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 Paulo Afonso, 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.
