Local Environmental Conditions
This part of Kurnell sits in a varied landscape of open water, open grassland and woodland. With a watercourse close by, riverside trees such as plane tree contribute to the local mix. Among allergenic trees nearby, olive is the main source. Grasses are a major source, with pigweed and pellitory adding to the weed pollen load.
Tree pollen peaks in early spring, when the weather warms to around 15°C and olive is in full flower. Then come the grasses, strongest in mid-spring and fading by mid-fall. The season closes with pigweed and pellitory from early summer into early fall. Mold spores join in from midsummer into early fall, when damp, warm spells let them thrive.

Does pollen in Kurnell 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 Kurnell 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 Kurnell, 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. |
