Local Environmental Conditions
Around 50% of the area near the heart of Armidale is built-up land, with a good deal of open grassland and some woodland. Among allergenic trees nearby, willow is the main source. Grass pollen is plentiful, while plantain leads among the weeds. In the immediate area, street trees, gardens and lawns supply most pollen in the built-up parts.
Willow leads the season in late winter, as temperatures climb to around 10°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Grasses take over in late spring, with temperatures around 15°C, and their pollen lingers into late summer. Plantain brings a final peak from mid-spring into early fall. In warm, humid weather from midsummer into early fall, mold spores add to the mix, especially after rain.

Does pollen in Armidale 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 Armidale 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 Armidale, 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 pollen scores represent risk levels, not direct pollen measurements. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
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. |
