Dewetsdorp lies roughly 60 km southeast of Bloemfontein. Grassland dominates the land around Dewetsdorp once you're past the eucalyptus- and acacia-lined streets near the centre, with maize, sunflower, and grain farming operations shaping much of what lies further out. The seasonal grass pollen surge each summer draws directly on this surrounding open plateau vegetation. This pattern holds true across most of the surrounding Highveld plateau.

When is pollen season in Dewetsdorp?
The pollen calendar at Dewetsdorp starts quietly, with acacia and eucalyptus trickling in from August before Highveld grass takes over decisively through October and November, against a backdrop shaped by maize, sunflower, and grain farming operations. Rain arriving in spring is what finally ends the dry, low-pollen winter stretch. This mirrors the broader seasonal pattern seen across much of the Highveld region.
How often is the Dewetsdorp pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Dewetsdorp 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 Dewetsdorp 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 Dewetsdorp, 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.
