Local Environmental Conditions
Around 99% of the area near this site in Warrumbungle is woodland. With a watercourse close by, riverside vegetation contributes to the local mix. With this much woodland around, trees are an important local pollen source. Grasses and weeds such as pigweed round out the local mix. Clearings, tracks and woodland edges let grasses and other flowering plants grow among the trees.
Flowering trees bring the first pollen of the year in early spring. Grasses take over in late spring, with temperatures around 20°C, and their pollen lingers into early fall. The season closes with pigweed from early summer into early fall. Spring is the wettest time of year, and heavy showers can bring short breaks in pollen.

Are pollen levels in Warrumbungle 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 Warrumbungle, 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.
