Local Environmental Conditions
Sanlúcar de Barrameda's coastal parks and the Guadalquivir River estuary corridor feature olive, pine, and eucalyptus 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 Doñana National Park contribute substantial grass and tree pollen, while the Atlantic coastal position means onshore winds can periodically disperse pollen.
Sanlúcar de Barrameda's pollen season opens in January with olive and pine before grass from surrounding Andalusian farmland and Doñana National Park peaks through April and May. The Atlantic coastal position means onshore winds can periodically disperse pollen, while the Guadalquivir estuary channels airflows and the summer heat ends the season abruptly by June across the historic sherry-producing city.

Does pollen in Sanlúcar de Barrameda 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 Sanlúcar de Barrameda 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 Sanlúcar de Barrameda, 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 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
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. |
