Local Environmental Conditions
Water here is bordered by river oak, a casuarina species known for prolific, far-carrying pollen; this sits in the vicinity. This area, within easy reach, has woodland where eucalypt stands alongside wattle, the latter especially aggressive as an allergen when in full flower. Here, within the local area, a green space of mown lawn and planted plane trees, both feeding into local pollen counts.
The water-adjacent river oak is an early riser, building through the depths of winter into September. As spring approaches, eucalypt and wattle in the nearby woodland become the dominant source, reaching maximum intensity across the August-September window. Grass pollen counts rise through spring, reaching their peak around November, before staying elevated through the summer months into late January.

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 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. |
