Local Environmental Conditions
Maldonado faces the Atlantic Ocean on the Uruguayan coast east of Montevideo near Punta del Este, where native coastal grassland, eucalyptus, and introduced coastal ornamental trees native coastal grassland and introduced coastal ornamental trees dominate locally, and grass from nearby Maldonado farmland extends exposure through the spring and summer peak. The wet season that follows regularly interrupts pollen counts.
The sharpest pollen exposure in Maldonado comes from native coastal grassland and introduced coastal ornamental trees between October and December, tracking the region's spring-to-summer transition. The wet summer months that follow bring frequent rainfall interruptions for the remainder of the year.

How often is the Maldonado pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Maldonado 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 Maldonado 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 Maldonado, 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 exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
