Cradock Golf Club lies roughly 200 km north of Gqeberha. At Cradock Golf Club, sparse Karoo scrub and camel thorn acacia define most of the surrounding vegetation, with irrigated gardens providing the only real greenery within town. The area's sheep and ostrich farming operations shapes a wider landscape where pollen sources remain thin for most of the year, consistent with the wider semi-arid Karoo landscape.

How often is the Cradock pollen forecast updated?

The Cradock pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Does pollen in Cradock 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 Cradock 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 Cradock, 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.
