Local Environmental Conditions
This part of Mount Gambier is densely built up, with some woodland. Lawns and planted trees in a nearby park add to local grass and tree pollen. Allergenic trees nearby include olive and elm. Grasses also feature strongly, alongside plantain among the weeds. Locally, street trees, gardens and lawns supply most pollen in the built-up parts.
The pollen year starts in late winter, when elm flowers. Tree pollen peaks in late spring, when the weather warms to around 15°C and olive is in full flower. Then come the grasses, strongest in early summer and fading by late summer. Later, plantain keeps weed pollen in the air from mid-spring into early fall.

How often is the Mount Gambier pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Mount Gambier 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 Gambier 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 Gambier, 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. |
