WTR Serra do Mar Ultra - Pollen and Air Quality Forecast for Today
Pollen levels are low today, with cypress as the main active species. Air quality along the route is good, with all pollutants at low levels. Based on Airmine's forecast, which uses satellite data to calculate exposure every 200 metres along the route, air quality is at its worst 0.0 km after start. Pollen exposure peaks at 34.1 km after start.

WTR Serra do Mar Ultra runs through the Serra do Mar coastal mountain range on this demanding ultra trail event, with native Atlantic Forest species, eucalyptus, and subtropical trees as the main pollen sources along this exceptional Atlantic Forest biodiversity corridor. The Serra do Mar's orographic rainfall contributes very frequent moisture interruptions, while the Atlantic Forest contributes exceptional botanical pollen diversity and the extensive mountain coastal terrain creates highly variable local pollen exposure conditions throughout this Atlantic Forest ultra trail event.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is air quality worst on the WTR Serra do Mar Ultra route?
Based on today's forecast, O3 is forecast at good levels along the route today (15.5/100). Air quality is at its worst after 0.0 km into the route. Airmine calculates exposure at 200m intervals along the course using satellite-derived atmospheric data.
Where is pollen highest on the WTR Serra do Mar Ultra course?
Pollen exposure peaks at km 34.1 today. This changes through the season as different pollen species become active.
When is pollen worst during the WTR Serra do Mar Ultra season?
November coincides with peak cypress season. Grass pollen typically rises in May-June.
How often is this forecast updated?
Updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Are pollen levels in WTR Serra do Mar Ultra 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 WTR Serra do Mar Ultra, 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.
Airmine’s atmospheric monitoring platform was developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team, using satellite and Earth observation technologies to improve emissions monitoring.
Levels show the highest exposure along the full route. Airmine uses satellite data to calculate pollen and air quality every 200 metres along each race route, updated four times daily.
