Local Environmental Conditions
Figueira da Foz's Atlantic coastal dune setting and the Mondego River estuary corridor pine and oak dominate locally, and grass from nearby Coimbra countryside extends the peak into spring. Frequent rainfall off the Atlantic keeps counts from building too high.
Figueira da Foz sees pine and oak lead the early season, with grass adding across spring from the nearby countryside; frequent Atlantic rainfall and onshore breezes provide regular relief across the January-to-June window. Inland valleys tend to see less wind relief than the open coast.

Does pollen in Figueira da Foz come from nearby or far away?

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 Figueira da Foz 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 Figueira da Foz, 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.

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. |
