Martina Franca's tree pollen is dominated by plane and pine, a pattern typical of Puglia and reinforced by its position on the Murgia dei Trulli plateau; grass and Mediterranean scrub pollen adds further exposure from nearby farmland through the warmer months. Parks and leafier streets tend to register higher counts than the built-up core.

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