Local Environmental Conditions
Here, just around the area, river oak lines the bank, contributing some of the season's more persistent wind-borne pollen. Woodland where eucalypt stands alongside wattle, the latter especially aggressive as an allergen when in full flower, in the wider area. Comparable land cover in surrounding areas tends to produce a similar pollen mix overall.
Along the waterway, river oak releases pollen first, reaching its high point sometime in late winter or early spring. The area's eucalypt and wattle trees pollinate through late winter and early spring, peaking as wattle comes into full flower, generally August into September. By late spring, grass pollen is climbing steadily toward a November high point, holding through the summer months before tapering off by late February.

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. |
