Coolum Beach sits on the Sunshine Coast, where coastal banksia and casuarina woodland back the dunes and paperbark wetlands occupy low-lying hinterland; jacaranda and other subtropical ornamentals are common through the town's residential streets. Grasses can flower for much of the year in this mild climate, with an additional, more concentrated pollen contribution from flowering paperbark and casuarina through late winter and spring.

Does pollen in Coolum Beach 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 Coolum Beach 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 Coolum Beach, 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.
