This area, in the wider area, has a canopy of eucalypt threaded with wattle, wattle chief among them for allergenic potency here. As with most local readings, actual levels can vary somewhat with short-term weather swings.

As spring turns to summer, grass pollen rises toward its November high, before pollen counts gradually decline through January and February.
How often is the Cowa pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Cowa 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 Cowa 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 Cowa, 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.
