Local Environmental Conditions
Open grassland makes up around 42% of the area near the heart of Thurgoona, with a good deal of woodland and some built-up land. The damp ground beside a watercourse nearby supports trees such as willow, adding to local pollen. Of the trees nearby, willow and olive are the ones that matter most for allergies. Grass pollen is plentiful, while plantain leads among the weeds.
Tree pollen peaks in late winter, when the weather warms to around 10°C and willow and olive are in full flower. Then come the grasses, strongest in late spring and fading by early fall. Plantain flowers through much of the warmer half of the year. Rain is heaviest in summer, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels.

Does pollen in Thurgoona 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 Thurgoona 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 Thurgoona, 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.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 pollen scores represent risk levels, not direct pollen measurements. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
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. |
