Local Environmental Conditions
Boland Cricket Stadium lies roughly 50 km east-northeast of Cape Town. Fynbos, oak, and pine make up the bulk of what grows around Boland Cricket Stadium, with vineyard and wine estate operations occupying much of the land further out. Native and introduced species together produce a fairly short but noticeable spring pollen season each year. This pattern holds true across most of the surrounding Cape fynbos belt.
From August, Boland Cricket Stadium moves through its short Cape spring pollen window, fynbos and oak first, then grass through September and October, all playing out against the backdrop of vineyard and wine estate operations. The reliable southeasterly wind does much of the work keeping levels down outside this window. This mirrors the broader seasonal pattern seen across much of the Cape fynbos belt.

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

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
