Benalla, on the Broken River in Victoria's Hume region, sits in mixed grazing and cropping country with a fairly classic southeastern pollen pattern. Tree pollen from wattle, casuarina and introduced species builds from August, handing over to grass pollen that peaks October to December as pasture and roadside grasses flower across the plains. Inland location gives Benalla hotter, drier summers than Gippsland, which tends to bring the grass season to a firmer close by December compared with wetter coastal districts.

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.

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 Benalla, 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.
