Local Environmental Conditions
A mix of eucalypt and wattle, wattle in particular a notorious trigger for hay fever across southern Australia, in the wider area. Local readings for the surrounding area tend to follow this same general pattern. Ground-level conditions like local landscaping can nudge these figures slightly either way. Nearby weather stations report comparable trends across the broader stretch of the region.
As spring approaches, eucalypt and wattle in the nearby woodland become the dominant source, building to its sharpest point across August and September. Grass pollen rises through spring toward a November high point, with levels staying elevated into the new year before finally easing off. Small variations in local weather can nudge these windows a few days in either direction.

Does pollen in Maldon 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 Maldon 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 Maldon, 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. |
