Local Environmental Conditions
Bare ground and woodland share the area around this location in Nambung, plus some scrubland. Lawns and planted trees in a nearby park add to local grass and tree pollen. Locally, tree cover makes trees an important source. Grasses along roadsides, verges and open ground also add to the overall pollen load.
Flowering trees bring the first pollen of the year in mid-spring. Grasses take over in mid-spring, with temperatures around 20°C, and their pollen lingers into late fall. A smaller weed peak follows from early summer into early fall. Winter is the wettest time of year, and heavy showers can bring short breaks in pollen.

Does pollen in Nambung 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 Nambung 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 Nambung, 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. |
