Local Environmental Conditions
River oak thrives along the damp bank, a classic riparian wind-pollinator in this part of Australia, just outside the immediate area. Nearby, not far from here, tree cover made up mostly of eucalypt and wattle, wattle in particular a well-known seasonal trigger. Nearby, close to home here, a park whose turf grass and ornamental plane trees feed local pollen levels through spring.
The waterside river oak is consistently first to release pollen each year, climbing steadily from mid-winter into September. The nearby eucalypt and wattle stands take the lead as winter turns to spring, typically the year's sharpest tree-pollen spell, centered on wattle's flowering in August and September. As spring turns to summer, grass pollen rises toward its November high, with the season extending well into summer before finally winding down in February.

Does pollen in Kariong 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 Kariong 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 Kariong, 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. |
