Pouso Alegre rises in the southern Minas Gerais Serra da Mantiqueira foothills as an important industrial and university city, where native Atlantic Forest remnants, eucalyptus, and introduced urban trees are the main pollen sources. The subtropical highland climate produces a well-defined pollen season, while the mountain foothills setting creates variable local conditions and the wet summer months bring frequent rainfall interruptions throughout this southern Minas Gerais city.

Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.

Are pollen levels in Pouso Alegre 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 Pouso Alegre, 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.
