Local Environmental Conditions
Around 87% of the area near this part of Brisbane is woodland. Along a stream or river nearby, trees, shrubs and reeds grow in the damper ground and add their own pollen. The allergenic tree mix nearby includes olive. Grasses also feature strongly, alongside pigweed among the weeds. Undergrowth, clearings and woodland edges add smaller amounts of grass and herb pollen.
Tree pollen peaks in mid-spring, when the weather warms to around 20°C and olive is in full flower. Grasses take over in early spring and keep pollen in the air into mid-fall. Pigweed brings a final peak from early summer into early fall. Rain is heaviest in fall, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels.

How often is the Brisbane pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Brisbane 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 Brisbane 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 Brisbane, 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.
Airmine’s atmospheric monitoring platform was developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team, using satellite and Earth observation technologies to improve emissions monitoring.
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. |
