Local Mold Conditions
With yearly averages of about 76% humidity and 20°C, this area falls in the elevated range for overall mold favorability. Broadly speaking, conditions in this area run as sustained high humidity most months means indoor spaces need more active moisture control here than in drier parts of the region.
November to January is this area's peak mold-risk stretch, with humidity around 79% and temperatures near 22°C combining to keep conditions favorable for growth both indoors and out. With roughly 234 mm of rain typically falling in this window, surfaces stay damp longer, extending the stretch where mold growth is favored. There isn't a clearly lower-risk season here -- humidity and mild temperatures keep mold risk fairly steady year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mold in New South Wales
Why do I still have allergy symptoms after the pollen season?
Allergy symptoms after the main pollen season may be caused by mold spores. Outdoor mold levels can remain high into late summer and autumn, when pollen levels are already falling. Mold allergy can cause symptoms similar to pollen allergy, including sneezing, a runny or blocked nose, itchy eyes, coughing, and wheezing.
What are mold spores and why do they cause allergies?
Mold spores are tiny particles released by fungi into the air. When inhaled, they can trigger an allergic reaction in sensitive people. Common symptoms include sneezing, a runny or blocked nose, itchy or watery eyes, coughing, and wheezing.
When are mold spore levels highest?
Outdoor mold spore levels often increase during warm and humid conditions, particularly when there is plenty of decaying vegetation. Levels can vary considerably with weather, season, vegetation, and location, and some types of mold are more common during particular times of the year, e.g. in the Fall.
How can I reduce my exposure to mold spores?
If you are sensitive to mold, check local mold spore levels and forecasts before spending long periods outdoors. On high-risk days, reducing time around dense vegetation, compost, fallen leaves, and other sources of decaying plant material may help limit exposure.
Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 mold scores represent risk levels, not direct mold measurements. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
Mold
| 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. |
