Broome's Kimberley surrounds feature monsoon vine thicket remnants, mangroves fringing Roebuck Bay, scattered boab trees and pindan scrub, with iconic red dune vegetation backing Cable Beach. Further inland, spinifex grasslands and low pindan woodland dominate the red sandy plains, with denser vine thicket persisting in isolated pockets that flush green in the wet season. Boabs are a distinctive feature of the wider Kimberley landscape, their swollen trunks storing water through the long dry, while samphire flats fringe the tidal mudflats of Roebuck Bay.

The wet season (November–April) instead brings humidity, mould and cyclone risk, so the clearest pollen-driven hay fever period is the cooler, drier half of the year.
How often is the Broome pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Broome 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 Broome 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 Broome, 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.
