Local Environmental Conditions
Nearby, just around the area, a stand of river oak lines the water, a reliable source of casuarina pollen through the warmer months. A stand of eucalypt with wattle through the understorey, wattle ranked among the region's sharpest allergens; this sits not far from here. This area, just around the area, has a green space of mown lawn and planted plane trees, both feeding into local pollen counts.
River oak along the water gets the season underway before other species, usually peaking sometime between July and September. The area's eucalypt and wattle trees pollinate through late winter and early spring, typically landing in August and September. By late spring, grass pollen is climbing steadily toward a November high point, before gradually tapering off through the peak of summer into February.

How often is the Mermaid Waters pollen forecast updated?
The Mermaid Waters pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Mermaid Waters 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 Mermaid Waters 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 Mermaid Waters, 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.
Airmine’s atmospheric monitoring platform was developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team, using satellite and Earth observation technologies to improve emissions monitoring.
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. |
