Local Environmental Conditions
Here, just outside the immediate area, the waterway's edge supports river oak, a species whose fine pollen travels well beyond the immediate bank. This area, in the vicinity, has woods composed largely of eucalypt with wattle at the margins, a combination tied to sharp late-winter pollen spikes. This area, in the vicinity, has a park whose turf grass and ornamental plane trees feed local pollen levels through spring.
Water-edge river oak is usually the first allergenic tree active here, climbing steadily from mid-winter into September. Eucalypt and wattle in the woods pick up where river oak leaves off, typically landing in August and September. Spring brings rising grass pollen that crests in November, before pollen counts gradually decline through January and February.

How often is the Burwood pollen forecast updated?
The Burwood pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Burwood 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 Burwood 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 Burwood, 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.
Airmine’s atmospheric monitoring platform was developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team, using satellite and Earth observation technologies to improve emissions monitoring.
Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
Pollen
| 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. |
