Local Environmental Conditions
Woodland makes up around 46% of the area near this location in Wollongong, with a good deal of open water. Lawns and planted trees in a nearby park add to local grass and tree pollen. With this much woodland around, trees are an important local pollen source. Grass pollen is significant here, and pigweed and plantain contribute weed pollen.
Flowering trees bring the first pollen of the year in early spring. Grasses take over in mid-spring and keep pollen in the air into mid-fall. Later, pigweed and plantain keep weed pollen in the air from early summer into early fall. Warm, humid weather keeps mold spores around for most of the year as well.

Does pollen in Wollongong 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 Wollongong 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 Wollongong, 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.

| 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. |
