The pollen calendar at Absa Stadium Potchefstroom starts quietly, with acacia and eucalyptus trickling in from August before Highveld grass takes over decisively through October and November, against a backdrop shaped by maize, sunflower, and grain farming operations. Rain arriving in spring is what finally ends the dry, low-pollen winter stretch. This mirrors the broader seasonal pattern seen across much of the Highveld region.

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 Potchefstroom, 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.
