Local Environmental Conditions
This part of Mount Cotton is surrounded mainly by woodland, with a good deal of open grassland. Running water nearby means riverside vegetation is part of the local pollen picture. So much tree cover makes trees an important source of pollen locally. Grasses and weeds such as pigweed round out the local mix.
Flowering trees bring the first pollen of the year in early spring. Grasses take over in early spring, with temperatures around 20°C, and their pollen lingers into mid-fall. The season closes with pigweed from early summer into early fall. Rain is heaviest in fall, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels.

Does pollen in Mount Cotton 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 Mount Cotton 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 Mount Cotton, 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. |
