Local Environmental Conditions
The heart of Madrid is densely built up. Oak is the most prominent allergenic tree nearby, with ash also present. Grass pollen is plentiful, while plantain and pigweed lead among the weeds. Oak is unusually common here compared with most other locations, making it a particularly important local pollen source.
Oak and ash lead the season in mid-spring, as temperatures climb to around 10°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Then come the grasses, strongest in late spring and fading by early fall. Later, plantain and pigweed keep weed pollen in the air from mid-spring into early fall. The oak period in mid-spring is usually the most intense time of year here.

How often is the Madrid pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Madrid 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 Madrid 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 Madrid, 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. |
