Local Environmental Conditions
This part of Tenterfield is surrounded mainly by woodland, which covers around 94% of the nearby area. Close to running water, riverside vegetation contributes to what is in the air. So much tree cover makes trees an important source of pollen locally. Grasses and weeds such as plantain and pigweed round out the local mix.
Tree pollen comes first, peaking in early spring. Then come the grasses, strongest in late spring and fading by early fall. Plantain and pigweed flower through much of the warmer half of the year. Rain is heaviest in fall, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels. Dry, sunny and breezy weather raises levels within each period, and steady rain brings them down.

Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.
Are pollen levels in Tenterfield 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 Tenterfield, 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.
