Local Environmental Conditions
This part of South Brisbane is surrounded mainly by built-up land, with some open water and woodland. The damp ground beside a stream or river nearby supports trees, shrubs and reeds, adding to local pollen. Grass pollen is plentiful, while pigweed and plantain lead among the weeds. In the immediate area, planted trees and mown lawns are the main sources in the built-up parts.
Flowering trees bring the first pollen of the year in early spring. Grass pollen follows, peaking in early spring and easing off by mid-fall. Later, pigweed and plantain keep weed pollen in the air from early summer into early fall. Fall is the wettest time of year, and heavy showers can bring short breaks in pollen.

How often is the South Brisbane pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in South Brisbane 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 South Brisbane 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 South Brisbane, 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. |
