When is pollen season in Cape Borda?

Once river oak fades, eucalypt and wattle in the woods carry the season forward, usually peaking from August into October. Grass pollen becomes the dominant allergen through spring, peaking in November, before staying elevated through the summer months into late January.
How often is the Cape Borda pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Cape Borda 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 Cape Borda 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 Cape Borda, 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.
