Local Environmental Conditions
Open grassland and woodland share the area around the heart of Óbidos, plus some built-up land. The leading allergenic tree nearby is oak, with olive close behind. Grasses and weeds such as plantain and pellitory round out the local mix. Grasses along roadsides, verges and open ground also add to the overall pollen load.
Tree pollen peaks in early spring, when the weather warms to around 15°C and oak and olive are in full flower. Grasses take over in late spring and keep pollen in the air into early fall. Plantain and pellitory flower through much of the warmer half of the year. Mold spores join in from late spring into mid-fall, when damp, warm spells let them thrive.

How often is the Óbidos pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Óbidos 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 Óbidos 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 Óbidos, 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 pollen scores represent risk levels, not direct pollen measurements. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
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. |
