Local Environmental Conditions
Woodland makes up around 46% of the area near Box Hill South, with a good deal of built-up land. Close to running water, riverside trees such as willow and plane tree contribute to what is in the air. Among allergenic trees nearby, oak leads, followed by ash and plane tree. Grasses are a major source, with plantain and pigweed adding to the weed pollen load.
Oak, ash and plane tree lead the season in mid-spring, as temperatures climb to around 15°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Grasses take over in early summer, with temperatures around 20°C, and their pollen lingers into early fall. Plantain and pigweed flower through much of the warmer half of the year. Rain is heaviest in spring, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels.

Are pollen levels in Box Hill South 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 Box Hill South, 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.
