On 24 August 2026, Myrtle is the dominant pollen source in The Falls. grass, acacia, and cypress are not currently active.

Along the waterway, river oak releases pollen first, peaking in mid-winter through September. Further into late winter, the area's eucalypt and wattle stands drive the pollen count, reaching maximum intensity across the August-September window. By late spring, grass pollen is climbing steadily toward a November high point, then persisting at a reduced but still meaningful level into the new year.

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 The Falls, 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.
