Roquetas de Mar's pollen season opens in January with olive and palm, with the Almería greenhouse landscape and semi-arid climate producing one of Spain's earliest seasons. Grass and crop pollen from surrounding farmland peak through March and April. Sea breezes periodically disperse pollen, while the hot, dry summer ends the season very abruptly and the greenhouse plastic surfaces create distinctive local conditions.

The Roquetas de Mar pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

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.

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 Roquetas de Mar, 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.
