Kempton Park's East Rand Highveld setting features eucalyptus, jacaranda, and acacia as the main tree pollen sources alongside Highveld grassland, with exposure varying between the greener residential neighborhoods and the more built-up commercial corridors along Pretoria Road. The Kempton Park Lake corridor provides locally significant green space, while the surrounding Highveld grassland contributes substantial grass pollen during the summer rainfall season.

Does pollen in Kempton Park 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 Kempton Park 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 Kempton Park, 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.
