Local Environmental Conditions
Most of the area around this part of Goonellabah is woodland, with a good deal of built-up land and some open grassland. Along a watercourse nearby, trees, shrubs and reeds grow in the damper ground and add their own pollen. So much tree cover makes trees an important source of pollen locally. Grasses add a sizeable share of the local pollen.
Tree pollen comes first, peaking in early spring. Grass pollen follows, peaking in mid-spring and easing off by mid-fall. Weeds on open ground add a smaller late peak from early summer into early fall. Mold spores join in from late summer into late fall, when damp, warm spells let them thrive.

Does pollen in Goonellabah 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 Goonellabah 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 Goonellabah, 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.
