Local Environmental Conditions
Located close to this spot, this area has river oak crowds the water's edge here, a well-known contributor to local casuarina pollen counts. Located just around the area, this area has a mix of eucalypt and wattle, wattle in particular a notorious trigger for hay fever across southern Australia. The broader area tends to mirror this pattern, with only minor local variation.
River oak near the water opens the pollen calendar early, getting an early start, typically cresting between July and August. By late winter, eucalypt and wattle in the woods take over, reaching maximum intensity across the August-September window. As spring turns to summer, grass pollen rises toward its November high, and remaining a significant allergen right through summer until it eases in February.

Does pollen in Lorne 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 Lorne 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 Lorne, 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. |
