Local Environmental Conditions
Around 99% of the area near the center of Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council is woodland. The surrounding woodland makes trees an important local pollen source. There is plenty of grass pollen here too. Undergrowth, clearings and woodland edges add smaller amounts of grass and herb pollen. Much of the pollen in dense woodland is released high in the canopy, where the wind carries it easily.
Tree pollen comes first, peaking in mid-spring. Grasses take over in early summer, with temperatures around 20°C, and their pollen lingers into late summer. A smaller weed peak follows from early summer into early fall. Rain is heaviest in spring, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels. By early winter, as temperatures fall to around 5°C, pollen levels are low again.
