Local Environmental Conditions
Open grassland makes up around 47% of the area near the center of Port Kennedy, with a good deal of built-up land and some woodland. A nearby park adds mown lawns and planted trees to the local pollen mix. With this much woodland around, trees are an important local pollen source. Grasses are a major source, with pigweed adding to the weed pollen load.
Flowering trees bring the first pollen of the year in mid-spring. Grasses take over in late spring, with temperatures around 20°C, and their pollen lingers into mid-fall. Later, pigweed keeps weed pollen in the air 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 Kennedy 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 Kennedy 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 Kennedy, 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 pollen scores represent risk levels, not direct pollen measurements. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
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. |
