Local Environmental Conditions
The landscape around this site in Blue Mountains City Council is heavily wooded. A nearby park adds mown lawns and planted trees to the local pollen mix. Among allergenic trees nearby, olive leads, followed by willow. Grasses are a major source, with pigweed and plantain adding to the weed pollen load.
Olive and willow lead the season in mid-spring, as temperatures climb to around 15°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Then come the grasses, strongest in mid-spring and fading by late summer. The season closes with pigweed and plantain from early summer into early fall. Fall is the wettest time of year, and heavy showers can bring short breaks in pollen.
