Local Environmental Conditions
Woodland where eucalypt stands alongside wattle, the latter especially aggressive as an allergen when in full flower; this sits in the wider area. A park where mown turf grass and ornamental plane trees add to local grass and tree pollen; this sits within the neighborhood's edge. Actual counts still shift year to year with temperature, rainfall, and prevailing wind.
By late winter, eucalypt and wattle in the woods take over, usually hitting its highest point sometime between mid-August and mid-September. Grass pollen becomes the dominant allergen through spring, peaking in November, before pollen counts gradually decline through January and February. Local weather swings can shift these windows slightly, but the overall order tends to hold.

How often is the Rye pollen forecast updated?
The Rye pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Rye 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 Rye 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 Rye, 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. |
