Funchal's Madeiran coastal setting produces an extended pollen season running almost year-round, with subtropical trees and laurisilva woodland contributing continuously. Dragon tree and laurel pollen are particularly distinctive local sources, while grass peaks through spring. The Atlantic coastal position means onshore winds can periodically disperse pollen and the varied altitude creates distinct pollen zones across the island capital.

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

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.

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 Funchal, 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.
