When is pollen season in Palmela?
Palmela's pollen season runs from January through June, opening with oak and pine before grass from nearby Portuguese farmland peaks across spring. The Atlantic-facing position means onshore winds and frequent rain regularly interrupt exposure. Hillier inland areas can see slightly later peaks than the coast.
How often is the Palmela pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Palmela 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 Palmela 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 Palmela, 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.
