Local Environmental Conditions
This location in Macarthur sits among a blend of woodland and open grassland. The damp ground beside a stream or river nearby supports trees, shrubs and reeds, adding to local pollen. With this much woodland around, trees are an important local pollen source. Grasses add a sizeable share of the local pollen.
Flowering trees bring the first pollen of the year in early spring. Grasses take over in early summer, with temperatures around 15°C, and their pollen lingers into late summer. A smaller weed peak follows from early summer into early fall. Actual levels on any given day depend on the weather, with dry, breezy days the worst and wet days the mildest.

Does pollen in Macarthur 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 Macarthur 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 Macarthur, 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.
