Nowra, on the Shoalhaven River in NSW's south coast hinterland, has a temperate pollen season moderated by its coastal proximity but still influenced by surrounding forested ranges. Eucalypt and wattle pollen build from August, with grasses across the region's dairy and grazing country peaking October to December. Coastal breezes help disperse pollen compared to inland areas, though spring storms rolling off the escarpment can still trigger the thunderstorm-asthma mechanism recognised across southeastern Australia.

The Nowra pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

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.

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 Nowra, 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.
