Local Environmental Conditions
The area around this location in Robertson is mostly built-up land, with some woodland. In the immediate area, street trees, gardens and lawns supply most pollen in the built-up parts. Grasses along roadsides, verges and open ground also add to the overall pollen load. Wind carries pollen over long distances, so the wider landscape also shapes what arrives here.
Tree pollen comes first, peaking in early spring. Then come the grasses, strongest in late spring and fading by early fall. Actual levels on any given day depend on the weather, with dry, breezy days the worst and wet days the mildest. Between late fall and the first tree flowering, pollen levels stay low, with midwinter usually the quietest time.

Does pollen in Robertson 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 Robertson 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 Robertson, 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.
