Granada's parks and the Genil and Darro river corridors feature olive, poplar, and pine as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between green areas and the more built-up city centre. Surrounding Andalusian olive groves and the Sierra Nevada foothills contribute substantial olive and grass pollen, while the warm, dry Mediterranean climate concentrates pollen dispersal during spring.

The hot, dry summer ends the season abruptly, making spring the dominant and most challenging pollen period.
How often is the Granada pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Granada 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 Granada 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 Granada, 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.
