Local Environmental Conditions
Most of the area around the center of Underberg is open grassland, with some woodland and farmland. Trees are an important local pollen source, given how much woodland surrounds the area. Grasses are also a significant pollen source here. Grasses along roadsides, verges and open ground also add to the overall pollen load.
Tree pollen comes first, peaking in early spring. Grasses take over in late spring and keep pollen in the air into late summer. Weeds on open ground add a smaller late peak from early summer into early fall. Summer is the wettest time of year, and heavy showers can bring short breaks in pollen. By early winter, as temperatures fall to around 10°C, pollen levels are low again.

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