Pollen at Delmas builds from August as acacia and eucalyptus flower, with Highveld grass taking over through October and November. The elevated plateau's dry winter suppresses production until the spring rains arrive, and the area's coal mining and power station operations adds a distinctive local backdrop to the grass-dominated summer pollen season, a pattern typical of the wider Highveld region.

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

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.

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 Delmas, 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.
