Pollen from camel thorn acacia and Kalahari grasses builds through September and October, tapering off as grass pollen takes over across November through March. The semi-arid Northern Cape Kalahari climate means pollen is closely tied to sporadic rainfall rather than a fixed calendar, and conditions at Sishen Golf Club – Championship Course generally track the broader regional pattern for this part of South Africa.

The Kathu 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 Kathu, 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.
