Local Environmental Conditions
This part of Wollongong is surrounded mainly by woodland, with some built-up land and open grassland. Close to a watercourse, riverside vegetation contributes to what is in the air. The surrounding woodland makes trees an important local pollen source. Beyond the trees, grasses matter a great deal, and plantain is the main weed source.
Tree pollen comes first, peaking in late winter. Grasses take over in late spring and keep pollen in the air into late summer. Plantain flowers through much of the warmer half of the year. Fall is the wettest time of year, and heavy showers can bring short breaks in pollen.

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.
