Puk Stadium lies roughly 170 km southeast of Mahikeng. Grassland dominates the land around Puk Stadium once you're past the eucalyptus- and acacia-lined streets near the centre, with maize, sunflower, and grain farming operations shaping much of what lies further out. The seasonal grass pollen surge each summer draws directly on this surrounding open plateau vegetation. 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.
