Local Environmental Conditions
Most of the area around this site in Pretoria is built-up land, with a good deal of woodland. The allergenic tree mix nearby includes mulberry, olive and oak. Beyond the trees, grasses matter a great deal, and pigweed and plantain are the main weed sources. Around here, street trees, parks and lawns are the main sources in the built-up parts.
Mulberry, olive and oak lead the season in early spring, as temperatures climb to around 20°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Grass pollen follows, peaking in mid-spring and easing off by early fall. Pigweed and plantain bring a final peak from early summer into early fall. Warm, damp weather from late spring into late summer also raises mold spore levels.

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