Local Environmental Conditions
This site in Macarthur is surrounded mainly by woodland, with some open grassland. With a stream or river close by, riverside vegetation contributes to the local mix. Woodland on all sides makes trees an important local pollen source. Grass pollen is a substantial part of the local mix as well.
Tree pollen comes first, peaking in early spring. Grasses take over in early summer, with temperatures around 15°C, and their pollen lingers into late summer. Weeds on open ground add a smaller late peak from early summer into early fall. Day to day, sunshine and wind lift the counts, while a spell of rain can bring them down sharply.

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.
