Varginha spreads across the southern Minas Gerais highlands as the coffee capital of Minas Gerais, where native cerrado trees, eucalyptus, and coffee plantation vegetation are the main pollen sources. The subtropical highland climate produces a well-defined pollen season, while the dry season from May to September concentrates pollen dispersal and the wet summer months bring frequent rainfall interruptions throughout this important Minas Gerais coffee municipality.

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