Orange sits at nearly 900 metres on the slopes of Mount Canobolas, an extinct volcano, giving it one of the coolest, latest pollen seasons in the TEMP region, with occasional winter snow. Eucalypt and wattle pollen build from late August, while grasses across surrounding orchard and grazing country peak October to December, generally later than lowland NSW. The tablelands' sharp spring temperature swings, combined with storms, still carry the same thunderstorm-asthma risk recognised across the broader region.

The Orange 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 Orange, 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.
