Dom Pedro Old Course Golf Club's Algarve Vilamoura setting features umbrella pine, carob, and olive as the main pollen sources across the mature parkland course, with exposure varying between the densely pine-wooded fairways and the more open sections. Surrounding Algarve farmland contributes substantial grass and tree pollen, while the dry Algarve climate concentrates the season in spring and mugwort extends exposure into late summer across the Vilamoura resort.

How often is the Faro pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Faro 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 Faro 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 Faro, 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.
