Local Environmental Conditions
The heart of City of Playford sits among a blend of built-up land and farmland, plus some open grassland. A nearby park adds mown lawns and planted trees to the local pollen mix. Among allergenic trees nearby, olive is the main source. Grasses also feature strongly, alongside pigweed among the weeds.
Tree pollen peaks in late spring, when the weather warms to around 15°C and olive is in full flower. Then come the grasses, strongest in late spring and fading by early fall. Pigweed brings a final peak from early summer into early fall. Winter is the wettest time of year, and heavy showers can bring short breaks in pollen.
