Dullstroom lies roughly 90 km west of Nelspruit. At Dullstroom, acacia, eucalyptus, and Highveld grassland dominate the local pollen picture, with exposure varying between wooded residential streets and more open, built-up parts of town. Surrounding maize, sunflower, and grain farming operations adds further texture to the landscape, while farmland nearby contributes grass pollen through the summer rainfall months, consistent with the wider Highveld plateau environment.

How often is the Dullstroom pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Dullstroom 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 Dullstroom 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 Dullstroom, 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.
