Knysna Bowling Club Greens's forested Garden Route surroundings release wattle and fynbos pollen from July, with grass and forest species peaking through September and October. The area's tourism and forestry operations and consistently damp climate combine to keep the pollen season longer and milder than drier parts of the country, a pattern typical of the wider Garden Route climate.

The Knysna 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 Knysna, 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.
