Local Environmental Conditions
Sorocaba's parks feature eucalyptus, pine, and native Cerrado species as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between green areas and the more built-up city centre. Surrounding São Paulo state farmland and Atlantic Forest fragments contribute substantial grass and tree pollen, with the tropical highland climate supporting extended pollen production throughout the year.
Sorocaba's pollen season is most pronounced during the dry season from May to September, when eucalyptus, pine, and native Cerrado and Atlantic Forest species release pollen and grass exposure increases. The tropical highland climate means frequent rainfall during the wet summer from November to March suppresses dispersal, while the dry season concentrates pollen production across the São Paulo state interior.

How often is the Sorocaba pollen forecast updated?
The Sorocaba pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Sorocaba 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 Sorocaba 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 Sorocaba, 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. |
