Coastal resort golf course near Nelson Bay on the Port Stephens peninsula, its fairways bordered by banksia and coastal tea-tree scrub on sandy soils typical of this stretch of the NSW coast, with pockets of spotted gum woodland further inland. Maintained couch fairways and bent-grass greens dominate the playing surface. Spring banksia and tea-tree flowering along the rough combine with turf grass pollen for a coastal-heath-influenced profile.

How often is the Nelson Bay pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Nelson Bay 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 Nelson Bay 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 Nelson Bay, 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.
