Local Environmental Conditions
This site in Bethanga is largely open grassland, with some woodland. Close to a stream or river, riverside vegetation contributes to what is in the air. Grass pollen is a substantial part of the local mix as well. Grasses along roadsides, verges and open ground also add to the overall pollen load.
Flowering trees bring the first pollen of the year in early spring. Grass pollen follows, peaking in late spring and easing off by early fall. Weeds on open ground add a smaller late peak from early summer into early fall. Rain is heaviest in summer, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels. By early winter, as temperatures fall to around 10°C, pollen levels are low again.

Does pollen in Bethanga 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 Bethanga 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 Bethanga, 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.

| 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. |
