Local Environmental Conditions
Most of the area around this location in Port Elliot is open water, with some built-up land. Lawns and planted trees in a nearby park add to local grass and tree pollen. The key allergenic tree in the wider area is olive. Grasses, pigweed and plantain growing in the surroundings are the main non-tree sources of pollen.
Tree pollen peaks in late spring, when the weather warms to around 15°C and olive is in full flower. Grasses take over in late spring and keep pollen in the air into early fall. The season closes with pigweed and plantain from early summer into early fall. Winter is the wettest time of year, and heavy showers can bring short breaks in pollen.

Does pollen in Port Elliot 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 Port Elliot 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 Port Elliot, 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.
