Poços de Caldas rises on the Minas Gerais-São Paulo highland border as a famous thermal spa resort, where native Atlantic Forest and cerrado species, eucalyptus, and coffee plantation vegetation are the main pollen sources on this volcanic plateau. The subtropical highland climate produces a well-defined pollen season, while the elevated plateau rim setting creates variable local conditions and the wet summer months bring frequent rainfall interruptions throughout this renowned Minas Gerais spa resort city.

Are pollen levels in Poços de Caldas based on measurements or forecasts?

Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in Poços de Caldas, 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.
