Tzaneen's bushveld season opens in August with acacia and mopane before grass from the surrounding savanna peaks through October and into summer. The dry winter keeps pollen low, while citrus and subtropical farming operations shapes the surrounding land, and the onset of summer rains drives a strong grass pollen flush from November.

The Tzaneen pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

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.

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 Tzaneen, 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.
