Santa Cruz de Tenerife's coastal parks and the Barranco de Santos corridor feature palm, dragon tree, and introduced pine as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between these green areas and the more built-up city centre. Surrounding Canarian laurisilva and the Anaga massif woodland contribute substantial tree and grass pollen, while the Atlantic trade winds frequently disperse pollen across the city.

Which pollen types are currently active in Santa Cruz?

On 28 June 2026, there are no significant pollen types in Santa Cruz.

When is pollen season in Santa Cruz?
Santa Cruz de Tenerife's Canarian coastal setting means pollen production continues year-round, with palm, dragon tree, and grass from surrounding farmland contributing throughout. The Atlantic trade winds frequently disperse pollen across the city, while spring produces the most intense grass peaks and the Anaga massif woodland contributes distinctive laurisilva pollen when winds blow from the northeast.
How often is the Santa Cruz pollen forecast updated?

The Santa Cruz pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Does pollen in Santa Cruz 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 Santa Cruz 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 Santa Cruz, 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.
