Mittagong, in the cool Southern Highlands, favours introduced deciduous species over coastal natives: oaks, elms, maples and poplars fill both public parks and private gardens, giving the town a strong autumn-exotic character. Surrounding bushland is dry sclerophyll eucalypt forest with peppermint and stringybark, and grazing paddocks carry temperate pasture grasses. Wattle flowers heavily in late winter along roadside verges. The elevation keeps flowering later than coastal NSW, shifting exotic tree pollen into early spring.

Does pollen in Mittagong come from nearby or far away?

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 Mittagong 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 Mittagong, 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.
