Tanunda, in the heart of the Barossa Valley, has a Mediterranean pollen season closely tied to the region's viticulture and grazing land. Vineyard cover crops and surrounding pasture drive grass pollen from September, peaking through October and November, while tree pollen from cypress windbreaks and eucalypts builds from August. The valley's warm, dry summers, ideal for the region's wine industry, bring a fairly clean end to the pollen season by December as vineyard understorey is managed and natural grasses dry off.

The Tanunda 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 Tanunda, 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.
