Local Environmental Conditions
Nearby, in the vicinity, water here is bordered by river oak, a casuarina species known for prolific, far-carrying pollen. Here, in the vicinity, eucalypt dominating the treeline with wattle scattered through it, both contributing to the season's pollen load. Actual counts still shift year to year with temperature, rainfall, and prevailing wind.
The bank's river oak kicks off the pollen season ahead of the rest, topping out well before most other trees start releasing pollen, around July and August. 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.

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. |
