Kimberley Low pollen and fungal spore levels were seen during this sampling period, but grass pollen was present on most days. Tree pollen included  olive and pine trees and weed...

Kimberley Tree and weed pollen levels were low but pine, willow, white stinkwood and mulberry pollen was detected. Low levels of chenopod or goosefoot, ferns and English Plantain weed pollen...

Kimberley Kimberley has been very hot and dry so the pollen and mould counts have been low but after a little rain the mould counts increased. Grass and weed pollen...

Kimberley There has been very little rain at this site so all tree, grass and weed pollen and mould levels are consistently low. Gqeberha Pollen and fungal spore levels were...

Kimberley All pollen and fungal spores were low but mould loads are slowly increasing. Tree pollen included Celtis, cypress, pine, gum and mulberry. Weeds included daisy and ferns. Gqeberha Pollen...

Cape Town Grass concentrations increased to exceed 10 grains/cu M on warm, dry days. Tree pollen increased despite rain as significant concentrations were recorded for cypress, plane,pine,oak and olive. Weeds...

Cape Town Tree pollen levels were reduced this week as rain removed pollen from the atmosphere but high counts were seen on dry days for cypress. Grass and weed pollen...

  Cape Town Tree pollen reached record highs at this site as high counts of oak, cypress and plane tree were detected on hot, still days. Grass, weed and mould levels...

Cape Town Tree pollen levels decreased due to rain, but cypress, plane, pine, gum and Morus ( includes mulberry) continued to flower. Low levels of weed and grass pollen were...

Cape Town Tree pollen concentrations decreased somewhat but the overall count remained high. Grasses, weeds and fungal spore levels were low. A greater variety of pollen types is appearing in...

Pollen counts are up and running In Cape Town, Johannesburg, Bloemfontein and Durban and strong differences have emerged between the four regions. High tree pollen counts Tree pollen counts are...

The fungal spore load increased slightly but remained low throughout this sampling week. Tree pollen concentrations remained high owing to the contribution of cypress pollen. Pine, gum and poplar tree...

Despite torrential rain and very low temperatures, cypress tree pollen concentrations increased during this sampling week. Grass and weed pollen was low and fungal spore loads were very slight.

The tree pollen levels increased sharply as high counts were recorded for cypress. Pine, willow, mulberry, and gum pollen was seen. Grass pollen levels were very low and no weed...

Fungal spore loads were light but there was a small significant spike for Pleospora, the wet weather spore when a concentration of 442 spores/cu M was recorded on 16 July....

Fungal spore levels returned to low levels during this sampling week of rain, mist and low temperatures. Very low pollen levels were seen throughout the week, but occasional grains of...

The fungal spore load increased to moderate levels during this sampling period as ascospores reached moderate level on sunny days, following rain. Small but insignificant spikes were seen for basidiospores...

Tree, weed and grass pollen levels were extremely low during this sampling week of copious rain and low temperatures. Fungal spore loads were also low, but increased over the previous...
