ENVIRONMENT & ANALYSIS

Local Environmental Conditions

The area around this location in Kariong is heavily wooded. The damp ground beside a stream or river nearby supports trees, shrubs and reeds, adding to local pollen. The surrounding woodland makes trees an important local pollen source. Grass pollen is significant here, and plantain and pigweed contribute weed pollen.

Flowering trees bring the first pollen of the year in late winter. Grasses take over in mid-spring, with temperatures around 20°C, and their pollen lingers into early fall. Plantain and pigweed flower through much of the warmer half of the year. Fall is the wettest time of year, and heavy showers can bring short breaks in pollen.

How often is the Kariong pollen forecast updated?

The Kariong pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

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 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.

Airmine app pollen map

This page provides the latest public pollen forecast for Kariong.

Data provided by Airmine — Last update: 7 October 2026 at 03:07 CEST (Data is updated four times daily.)

Methodology & Technology

Airmine combines satellite observations, weather forecasts and machine learning to forecast pollen, air quality and mold risk. For pollen, vegetation maps and weather data help predict season onset and exposure at 400 × 400 metre resolution. For air quality, we refine Copernicus CAMS forecasts using local factors such as roads, emissions and terrain. For routes, data is updated dynamically to provide accurate exposure metrics along the specific race corridor coordinates.

Our models are calibrated against millions of professional monitoring records and updated four times daily as new data becomes available.
