Local Environmental Conditions
Most of the area around this site in Town of Alice Springs is scrubland, with some open grassland and bare ground. Along running water nearby, trees, shrubs and reeds grow in the damper ground and add their own pollen. Grasses matter a great deal here, and pigweed is the main weed source.
Grasses take over in mid-spring, with temperatures around 25°C, and their pollen lingers into early fall. Pigweed brings a final peak from early summer into early fall. Summer is the wettest time of year, and heavy showers can bring short breaks in pollen. Within each of these periods, warm, dry and windy days push levels higher, while rain clears the air.
