Alcobaça's Alcoa and Baça river valleys and the surrounding Portuguese farmland feature oak, pine, and eucalyptus as the main tree pollen sources. Surrounding farmland and the Alcoa valley woodland contribute substantial tree and grass pollen, while the Atlantic-facing position means onshore westerly winds and frequent rainfall provide regular interruptions throughout the season.

Grass from surrounding farmland peaks through May and June before mugwort and nettle extend exposure into September. The Atlantic-facing position means onshore westerly winds and frequent rainfall provide regular interruptions throughout this forested Portuguese region.
How often is the Alcobaça pollen forecast updated?

The Alcobaça pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Does pollen in Alcobaça 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 Alcobaça 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 Alcobaça, 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.
