Local Environmental Conditions
Open grassland makes up around 47% of the area near this site in District of Stromlo, with a good deal of woodland and some built-up land. Close to a watercourse, riverside trees such as willow contribute to what is in the air. Common allergenic trees nearby include elm, willow and cypress. Grass pollen is significant here, and plantain and pigweed contribute weed pollen.
Elm and cypress open the pollen season in late winter. Tree pollen peaks in early spring, when the weather warms to around 10°C and willow is in full flower. Grass pollen follows, peaking in early summer and easing off by midsummer. Plantain and pigweed bring a final peak from late spring into late summer. Rain is heaviest in spring, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels.

How often is the District of Stromlo pollen forecast updated?
The District of Stromlo pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in District of Stromlo 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 District of Stromlo 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 District of Stromlo, 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 pollen scores represent risk levels, not direct pollen measurements. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
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. |
