Local Environmental Conditions

A canopy of eucalypt threaded with wattle, wattle chief among them for allergenic potency here; this sits close to this spot. A nearby park's turf and plane trees layer additional pollen onto the seasonal grass count; this sits in the surrounding area.
River oak along the water gets the season underway before other species, climbing steadily from mid-winter into September. Eucalypt and wattle in the nearby woodland follow through late winter and early spring, building to its sharpest point across August and September. Grass pollen becomes the dominant allergen through spring, peaking in November, holding through the summer months before tapering off by late February.

Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.
Are pollen levels in Yarralumla 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 Yarralumla, 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 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
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. |
