Local Environmental Conditions
A stand of river oak lines the water, a reliable source of casuarina pollen through the warmer months; this sits near this part of town. A green space of mown lawn and planted plane trees, both feeding into local pollen counts; this sits within the local area. Ground-level conditions like local landscaping can nudge these figures slightly either way.
River oak by the water is typically first out of the gate, hitting its peak before most other trees flower, around July into September. Grass pollen counts rise through spring, reaching their peak around November, and remaining a significant allergen right through summer until it eases in February. Actual peak timing can drift earlier or later depending on how the season's weather plays out.

Does pollen in Peterborough (SA) 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 Peterborough (SA) 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 Peterborough (SA), 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.

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. |
