Local Environmental Conditions
Around 46% of the area near the center of Korong Vale is farmland, with a good deal of open grassland and some woodland. Close to running water, riverside vegetation contributes to what is in the air. Grasses and weeds such as pigweed round out the local mix. Pasture and uncultivated field edges in the farmland provide room for grasses and weeds.
Flowering trees bring the first pollen of the year in early spring. Grasses take over in late spring, with temperatures around 15°C, and their pollen lingers into early fall. Pigweed brings a final peak from early summer into early fall. Rain is heaviest in spring, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels. By midwinter, as temperatures fall to around 10°C, pollen levels are low again.

Does pollen in Korong Vale 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 Korong Vale 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 Korong Vale, 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.

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. |
