Potchefstroom Golf Club lies roughly 180 km east-southeast of Mahikeng. Potchefstroom Golf Club carries the typical Highveld mix: acacia and eucalyptus lining residential streets, grassland taking over past the edge of town, and maize, sunflower, and grain farming operations filling out the wider landscape beyond. Pollen exposure tracks this pattern closely, higher near remaining tree cover, lower on the open grass plains. This pattern holds true across most of the surrounding Highveld plateau.

Does pollen in Potchefstroom 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 Potchefstroom 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 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.
