Local Environmental Conditions
This site in Watsons Bay is surrounded mainly by open water, which covers around 67% of the nearby area, with some built-up land. The leading allergenic tree in the wider area is plane tree, with olive and oak close behind. Pellitory is unusually common here compared with most other locations, making it a particularly important local pollen source.
Tree pollen peaks in early spring, when the weather warms to around 15°C and plane tree, olive and oak are in full flower. Grasses take over in mid-spring, with temperatures around 20°C, and their pollen lingers into mid-fall. Pellitory and pigweed bring the strongest peak of the year from late winter into early winter. Warm, damp weather from midsummer into early fall also raises mold spore levels.

How often is the Watsons Bay pollen forecast updated?
The Watsons Bay pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Watsons Bay 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 Watsons Bay 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 Watsons Bay, 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. |
