Local Environmental Conditions
Nearby, within the local area, water here is bordered by river oak, a casuarina species known for prolific, far-carrying pollen. Located within the neighborhood's edge, this area has a canopy of eucalypt threaded with wattle, wattle chief among them for allergenic potency here. Small shifts in elevation or soil type can move these figures a little either way.
Water-edge river oak is usually the first allergenic tree active here, getting an early start, typically cresting between 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 counts rise through spring, reaching their peak around November, before gradually tapering off through the peak of summer into February.

How often is the Castlemaine pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Castlemaine 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 Castlemaine 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 Castlemaine, 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. |
