Local Environmental Conditions
Elevated golf course on the fringe of the Adelaide Hills, its fairways winding through stringybark and grey box eucalypt forest with a wattle understorey, giving it notably more native tree cover than the flatter metropolitan Adelaide courses. Couch fairways and bent-grass greens cover the playing surface. The hills-fringe setting produces a stronger spring eucalypt and wattle pollen signal here than courses on the Adelaide plains.
Mount Osmond Golf Club's foothills position at the edge of the Adelaide Hills combines the city's Mediterranean pattern with a cooler, later grass pollen peak than the plain below, wattle and eucalypt flowering from August and grass pollen from the fairways peaking in October, a few weeks behind Adelaide's inner suburbs. The course's hillside setting and surrounding native vegetation add a solid tree pollen presence into spring.

How often is the Adelaide pollen forecast updated?
The Adelaide pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Adelaide 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 Adelaide 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 Adelaide, 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. |
