Local Environmental Conditions
This part of Bear Valley Springs is surrounded mainly by open grassland, with some woodland. Along a stream or river nearby, trees, shrubs and reeds grow in the damper ground and add their own pollen. Grasses are also a significant pollen source here. Grasses along roadsides, verges and open ground also add to the overall pollen load.
Woodland and street trees lead off, with tree pollen peaking around early spring. Grass pollen builds from mid-spring, peaks around late spring and stays noticeable until midsummer. Weeds take the season into its final stretch, adding modest amounts of pollen from early summer into early fall. Winters average around 10°C and summers around 30°C, with most rain falling in the cooler months.

This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.
