Water here is bordered by river oak, a casuarina species known for prolific, far-carrying pollen; this sits just around the area. This area, close to home here, has woodland dominated by eucalypt and wattle, with wattle the more potent allergen of the two. Nearby, within the neighborhood, maintained parkland where turf grass and ornamental plane trees add to the local pollen mix.

When is pollen season in City?
Water-edge river oak is usually the first allergenic tree active here, reaching its high point sometime in late winter or early spring. Once river oak fades, eucalypt and wattle in the woods carry the season forward, typically the year's sharpest tree-pollen spell, centered on wattle's flowering in August and September. By late spring, grass pollen is climbing steadily toward a November high point, before continuing at a lower but still notable level through January and February.
How often is the City pollen forecast updated?

The City pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Does pollen in City 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 City 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 City, 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.
