Local Environmental Conditions
The area around this part of Lake Wendouree is a mix of built-up land and woodland, plus some open water. Close to Lake Wendouree, lakeside trees such as willow add to local tree pollen. Willow is the most prominent allergenic tree nearby. Grasses are a major source, with plantain adding to the weed pollen load.
Tree pollen peaks in early spring, when the weather warms to around 10°C and willow is in full flower. Grasses take over in early summer, with temperatures around 15°C, and their pollen lingers into late summer. Later, plantain keeps weed pollen in the air from late spring into early fall. Rain is heaviest in spring, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels.

Are pollen levels in Lake Wendouree 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 Lake Wendouree, 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.
