Castelo Branco's Tejo River valley and the surrounding Beira Baixa landscape feature oak, olive, and eucalyptus as the main tree pollen sources in this Portuguese inland city. Surrounding farmland and the Castelo Branco plain contribute substantial tree and grass pollen, while the continental-influenced Atlantic climate means the season opens earlier than in highland interior cities throughout.

How often is the Castelo Branco pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Castelo Branco 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 Castelo Branco 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 Castelo Branco, 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.
