Bega anchors a dairying valley on the NSW far south coast, its river flats given over to improved pasture grass; surrounding hills carry spotted gum and stringybark forest, with wattle a conspicuous late-winter bloomer along roadsides and paddock margins. Like much of the surrounding region, this area sees an early wattle and eucalypt flowering season give way to a longer grass pollen period running from spring into early summer.

When is pollen season in Bega?
Bega, set in a dairy valley just inland from the South Coast, has a pollen season shaped heavily by its surrounding pasture. Grass pollen from ryegrass and clover-rich paddocks builds from September and typically peaks across October and November, feeding off the valley's reliable rainfall and rich soils. Tree pollen from casuarina and eucalyptus appears earlier, from August, but is generally overshadowed by the grass load. Being inland of the coastal escarpment, Bega often records warmer days and higher pollen counts than the coast itself.
How often is the Bega pollen forecast updated?

The Bega pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Does pollen in Bega 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 Bega 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 Bega, 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.
