Local Environmental Conditions
Most of the area around this part of McDouall Peak is open grassland, with a good deal of scrubland. A stream or river nearby means riverside vegetation is part of the local pollen picture. There is plenty of grass pollen here too. Around here, scrubland contributes pollen from shrubs, grasses and herbs.
Through the seasons, grass pollen dominates, building from early spring to a peak around mid-spring and lasting until 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.
