Local Environmental Conditions
Here, a short distance from here, river oak thrives along the damp bank, a classic riparian wind-pollinator in this part of Australia. Forest where eucalypt and wattle share the canopy and margins, wattle driving most of the seasonal pollen spike, just outside the immediate area. Local microclimate and soil conditions can push these figures slightly higher or lower.
Near the bank, river oak leads the seasonal calendar, topping out well before most other trees start releasing pollen, around July and August. As spring approaches, eucalypt and wattle in the nearby woodland become the dominant source, building to its sharpest point across August and September. Grass pollen counts rise through spring, reaching their peak around November, before pollen counts gradually decline through January and February.

How often is the Caringal pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Caringal 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 Caringal 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 Caringal, 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. |
