Local Environmental Conditions
Around 57% of the area near this part of Thohoyandou is woodland, with a good deal of scrubland. Locally, tree cover makes trees an important source; scrubland contributes pollen from shrubs, grasses and herbs. Grasses along roadsides, verges and open ground also add to the overall pollen load. Gaps in the canopy, trails and forest edges give grasses and herbs room to grow.
Tree pollen comes first, peaking in early spring. Then come the grasses, strongest in mid-spring and fading by mid-fall. A smaller weed peak follows from early summer into early fall. Mold spores join in through summer, when damp, warm spells let them thrive. Dry, sunny and breezy weather raises levels within each period, and steady rain brings them down.

Does pollen in Thohoyandou 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 Thohoyandou 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 Thohoyandou, 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. |
