Local Environmental Conditions
Palmares Ocean Living & Golf's Lagos Algarve coastal setting features carob, olive, and umbrella pine as the main pollen sources across the hillside course overlooking the bay, with exposure varying between the exposed Atlantic-facing holes and the more sheltered inland fairways. Surrounding Algarve farmland contributes substantial grass and tree pollen, while the dry Algarve climate means the season ends earlier than in northern Portugal and mugwort extends exposure into late summer.
Coastal scrub and pine pollen build through late winter and into March, a few weeks behind the Algarve's typical spring bloom given the Atlantic-facing coastline's slightly cooler microclimate. Conditions turn dry and largely pollen-free from May through the summer months.

When is pollen season in Faro?
How often is the Faro pollen forecast updated?
The Faro pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
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.
Airmine’s atmospheric monitoring platform was developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team, using satellite and Earth observation technologies to improve emissions monitoring.
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. |
