Local Environmental Conditions
This part of Phuthaditjhaba is largely open grassland. Grass pollen adds noticeably to the overall load. Grasses along roadsides, verges and open ground also add to the overall pollen load. Pollen also travels on the wind, so vegetation in the wider surroundings adds to local levels as well.
Grass pollen follows, peaking in early summer and easing off by late summer. A smaller weed peak follows from early summer into early fall. Warm, damp weather through summer also raises mold spore levels. By early winter, as temperatures fall to around 5°C, pollen levels are low again. Day to day, sunshine and wind lift the counts, while a spell of rain can bring them down sharply.

When is pollen season in Phuthaditjhaba?
How often is the Phuthaditjhaba pollen forecast updated?
The Phuthaditjhaba pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Phuthaditjhaba 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 Phuthaditjhaba 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 Phuthaditjhaba, 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 pollen scores represent risk levels, not direct pollen measurements. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
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. |
