Local Environmental Conditions
River oak lines the bank, contributing some of the season's more persistent wind-borne pollen; this sits in the vicinity. Located just outside the immediate area, this area has eucalypt dominating the treeline with wattle scattered through it, both contributing to the season's pollen load. Local wind exposure and land use can shift the exact mix slightly from block to block.
River oak near the water opens the pollen calendar early, starting well before the main spring rush, topping out around September. By late winter, eucalypt and wattle in the woods take over, typically the year's sharpest tree-pollen spell, centered on wattle's flowering in August and September. Grass pollen takes over next, building to a peak around November, with levels staying elevated into the new year before finally easing off.

How often is the Diehard pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Diehard 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 Diehard 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 Diehard, 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. |
