How to connect?

Málaga's Mediterranean waterfront urban vegetation, anchored by Parque de Málaga and the Guadalmedina River corridor, features olive, cypress, and pine as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between these green areas and the more built-up city centre. Surrounding Andalusian farmland and the Málaga Mountains contribute substantial olive and grass pollen, while the coastal position means onshore Mediterranean breezes can periodically disperse pollen across the historic port city.

How often is the Málaga pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Málaga 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 Málaga 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 Málaga, 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.
