Local Environmental Conditions
River oak grows along the bank here, releasing fine wind-borne pollen typical of casuarina species; this sits just outside the immediate area. Here, just outside the immediate area, woods composed largely of eucalypt with wattle at the margins, a combination tied to sharp late-winter pollen spikes. Located just around the area, this area has parkland with regularly mown grass and planted plane trees, both sources of seasonal pollen.
Near the bank, river oak leads the seasonal calendar, starting well before the main spring rush, topping out around September. Eucalypt and wattle in the nearby woodland follow through late winter and early spring, cresting around August and September in the year's sharpest tree-pollen spike. Grass pollen rises through spring toward a November high point, and remaining a significant allergen right through summer until it eases in February.

How often is the Tanunda pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Tanunda 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 Tanunda 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 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.
Airmine’s atmospheric monitoring platform was developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team, using satellite and Earth observation technologies to improve emissions monitoring.
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. |
