Local Environmental Conditions
River oak thrives along the damp bank, a classic riparian wind-pollinator in this part of Australia; this sits in the surrounding area. This area, not far from here, has tree cover made up mostly of eucalypt and wattle, wattle in particular a well-known seasonal trigger. Green space with maintained lawn and planted plane trees, both contributing to seasonal pollen counts, close by.
Near the bank, river oak leads the seasonal calendar, getting an early start, typically cresting between July and August. Eucalypt and wattle nearby take over the pollen calendar through late winter, typically the year's sharpest tree-pollen spell, centered on wattle's flowering in August and September. Spring brings rising grass pollen that crests in November, before pollen counts gradually decline through January and February.

Does pollen in Loftus 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 Loftus 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 Loftus, 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. |
