Local Environmental Conditions
This part of Penong is surrounded mainly by open grassland, which covers around 64% of the nearby area, with a good deal of farmland. Lawns and planted trees in a nearby park add to local grass and tree pollen. There is plenty of grass pollen here too. Field margins, fallow strips and pasture around the farmland add further grass and weed pollen.
Then come the grasses, strongest in mid-spring and fading by early fall. Weeds on open ground add a smaller late peak from early summer into early fall. In this dry climate, pollen can linger in the air for long spells without rain. Within each of these periods, warm, dry and windy days push levels higher, while rain clears the air.

Does pollen in Penong 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 Penong 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 Penong, 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.

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. |
