Local Environmental Conditions
Nearby, just outside the immediate area, eucalypt dominating the treeline with wattle scattered through it, both contributing to the season's pollen load. Local microclimate and soil conditions can push these figures slightly higher or lower. The broader area tends to mirror this pattern, with only minor local variation. Seasonal timing here generally tracks the wider region, give or take a week or so.
Woodland eucalypt and wattle pick up the pace next, through late winter into spring, building to its sharpest point across August and September. Through spring, grass pollen climbs steadily toward its November peak, before gradually tapering off through the peak of summer into February. Neighboring parts of the region typically see this same sequence with only minor timing shifts.

When is pollen season in Orion?
How often is the Orion pollen forecast updated?
The Orion pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Orion 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 Orion 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 Orion, 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.
Airmine’s atmospheric monitoring platform was developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team, using satellite and Earth observation technologies to improve emissions monitoring.
Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
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. |
