Coonabarabran sits beneath the Warrumbungle Range, where ironbark and cypress pine woodland cover the rocky ranges and grazing pasture fills the cleared valleys. Remnant stands of white box and grey box occur on travelling stock routes, and river red gum follows local creek lines. Wattle is abundant on woodland edges in late winter. The mix of rugged native woodland and open grazing country gives a fairly typical central-west NSW pollen profile, tree-dominated in the ranges.

When is pollen season in Coonabarabran?
Coonabarabran, gateway to the Warrumbungle Ranges, sees a temperate inland season where tree pollen from eucalypt woodland opens in August and grass pollen from surrounding grazing country peaks October-November. The mix of open plains and forested ranges around the town means both tree and grass sources are close at hand, and dry, clear skies typical of the district's famous stargazing conditions also mean less rain to wash pollen from the air during spring.
How often is the Coonabarabran pollen forecast updated?

The Coonabarabran pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Does pollen in Coonabarabran 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 Coonabarabran 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 Coonabarabran, 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.
