Ayr, in the Burdekin sugar cane district of North Queensland, has a tropical pollen season shaped by the wet-dry cycle and the surrounding cane fields. Grass pollen builds through the dry season from May, peaking later in the dry as cane and pasture grasses flower, roughly August to October, while the wet season from November to April brings heavy rain that washes pollen from the air. Cane fire smoke during the crushing season can also add to seasonal respiratory irritation for sensitive residents.

The Ayr 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 Ayr, 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.
