Caloundra's vegetation is dominated by coastal eucalypt woodland, casuarina along its beaches and headlands, and banksia heath on sandy soils, with melaleuca wetlands inland around the Pumicestone Passage. Ornamental jacaranda and other garden plantings supplement this coastal bushland mix through the town's residential streets, while protected foreshore reserves preserve pockets of native coastal scrub close to the beaches.

How often is the Caloundra pollen forecast updated?
The Caloundra pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Caloundra 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 Caloundra 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 Caloundra, 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.
