Local Environmental Conditions
Around 68% of the area near the center of Ciudad de Melilla is built-up land, with some open water. Grasses are a major source, with pigweed adding to the weed pollen load. In the immediate area, planted trees and mown lawns are the main sources in the built-up parts. Grasses along roadsides, verges and open ground also add to the overall pollen load.
Grass pollen follows, peaking in late spring and easing off by mid-fall. Pigweed brings a final peak from early summer into early fall. Mold spores join in from early spring into mid-fall, when damp, warm spells let them thrive. Day to day, sunshine and wind lift the counts, while a spell of rain can bring them down sharply.

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.
