Local Environmental Conditions
The landscape around this part of Yarrangobilly is heavily wooded. The damp ground beside a stream or river nearby supports trees, shrubs and reeds, adding to local pollen. With this much woodland around, trees are 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 mid-spring. Grasses take over in midsummer, with temperatures around 15°C, and their pollen lingers into late summer. Plantain brings a final peak from late spring into late summer. Spring is the wettest time of year, and heavy showers can bring short breaks in pollen. By late fall, as temperatures fall to around 5°C, pollen levels are low again.

Does pollen in Yarrangobilly 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 Yarrangobilly 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 Yarrangobilly, 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.

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. |
