Local Environmental Conditions
The area around the heart of Sawtell is a mix of woodland and built-up land, plus some open grassland. Running water nearby means riverside vegetation is part of the local pollen picture. The surrounding woodland makes trees an important local pollen source. Grass pollen is plentiful, while pigweed and plantain lead among the weeds.
Tree pollen comes first, peaking in early spring. Grass pollen follows, peaking in mid-spring and easing off by mid-fall. The season closes with pigweed and plantain from early summer into early fall. In warm, humid weather from late spring into late fall, mold spores add to the mix, especially after rain.

Does pollen in Sawtell 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 Sawtell 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 Sawtell, 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 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. |
