Local Environmental Conditions
Ciudad de Melilla's coastal parks and the surrounding Mediterranean scrubland feature olive, pine, and introduced trees as the main pollen sources, with exposure varying between these green areas and the densely built enclave city centre. Surrounding Moroccan scrubland and farmland contribute grass and tree pollen, while the Mediterranean coastal position means sea breezes can periodically disperse pollen across the Spanish enclave.
Ciudad de Melilla's Mediterranean enclave setting produces an early pollen season opening in January with olive and pine. Grass from surrounding Moroccan scrubland and farmland peaks through April and May. The Mediterranean coastal position means sea breezes can periodically disperse pollen, while the hot, dry summer ends the season abruptly and pollen sources from Morocco contribute significantly.

Does pollen in Ciudad de Melilla 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 Ciudad de Melilla 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 Ciudad de Melilla, 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. |
