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.

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.
