Absent nearby tree cover or a waterway, wild grass and ragweed growing on open land likely shape the local pollen profile most. Local wind exposure and land use can shift the exact mix slightly from block to block. Actual counts still shift year to year with temperature, rainfall, and prevailing wind.

How often is the Ehlanzeni pollen forecast updated?
The Ehlanzeni pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Ehlanzeni 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 Ehlanzeni 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 Ehlanzeni, 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.
