Local Environmental Conditions
Around 54% of the area near this location in Mount Alfred is open grassland, with some farmland and woodland. The damp ground beside a watercourse nearby supports trees, shrubs and reeds, adding to local pollen. There is plenty of grass pollen here too. Grasses along roadsides, verges and open ground also add to the overall pollen load.
Tree pollen comes first, peaking in mid-spring. Grasses take over in late spring, with temperatures around 15°C, and their pollen lingers into early fall. Weeds on open ground add a smaller late peak from early summer into early fall. Spring is the wettest time of year, and heavy showers can bring short breaks in pollen. By early winter, as temperatures fall to around 5°C, pollen levels are low again.

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 Mount Alfred based on measurements or forecasts?
Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.

This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.
