Stawell, on the edge of the Grampians ranges, sits in a transition zone between forested hills and open grazing plains. Tree pollen from eucalypts and wattle in the surrounding ranges builds from late winter, while grass pollen from pasture on the plains peaks October to November. The rain shadow cast by the Grampians keeps the district drier than Melbourne, generally producing a shorter, sharper grass pollen peak that tapers off as the district's typically dry summer conditions take hold from December.

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

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.

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 Stawell, 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.
