Local Environmental Conditions
In Puglia, Manduria lies on the Salento plain in inland Puglia; local vegetation is dominated by cypress and pine, and late grass pollen from the wider countryside pushes totals higher as spring turns to summer. Exposure differs meaningfully between the town centre and its greener edges, with the surrounding Puglia land contributing an additional, steadier layer of grass pollen through the warmer months.
cypress and pine defines the core of Manduria's pollen season after an early hazel and alder start, with late grass pollen stretching exposure into summer across January to August. Mediterranean summer drought keeps late-season pollen modest here. Manduria sits on the Salento plain in inland Puglia, which shapes the tail end of the cycle.

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