Local Environmental Conditions
The area around the center of Merriwagga is largely open grassland, with some woodland. A nearby park adds mown lawns and planted trees to the local pollen mix. With this much woodland around, trees are an important local pollen source. Grass pollen is significant here, and pigweed contributes weed pollen.
Flowering trees bring the first pollen of the year in early spring. Then come the grasses, strongest in late spring and fading by early fall. The season closes with pigweed from early summer into early fall. Rain is heaviest in summer, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels. Within each of these periods, warm, dry and windy days push levels higher, while rain clears the air.

How often is the Merriwagga pollen forecast updated?
The Merriwagga pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Merriwagga 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 Merriwagga 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 Merriwagga, 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 pollen scores represent risk levels, not direct pollen measurements. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
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. |
