ENVIRONMENT & ANALYSIS

Local Environmental Conditions

A waterway lined with river oak, a wind-pollinated species and one of the more potent allergen sources along Australian creeks and rivers, not far from here. Small shifts in elevation or soil type can move these figures a little either way. Neighboring areas with similar land cover tend to show a closely matching pollen mix.

Water-edge river oak is usually the first allergenic tree active here, usually the first pollen source active, peaking sometime in July or August. Grass pollen takes over next, building to a peak around November, then holding at a high level well into January before easing off. Exact peak dates shift by a few weeks year to year depending on temperature and rainfall.

How often is the Runnymede pollen forecast updated?

The Runnymede pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Does pollen in Runnymede 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 Runnymede 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 Runnymede, 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.
