Local Environmental Conditions
This part of Town of Alice Springs is surrounded mainly by scrubland, with a good deal of open grassland. With a stream or river close by, riverside vegetation contributes to the local mix. Grasses matter a great deal here, and pigweed is the main weed source. In the immediate area, scrubland contributes pollen from shrubs, grasses and herbs.
Grass pollen follows, peaking in mid-spring and easing off by 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.
