Local Environmental Conditions
Nearby, just outside the immediate area, river oak crowds the water's edge here, a well-known contributor to local casuarina pollen counts. Woodland dominated by eucalypt and wattle, with wattle the more potent allergen of the two; this sits just around the area. Local wind exposure and land use can shift the exact mix slightly from block to block.
Water-edge river oak is usually the first allergenic tree active here, climbing steadily from mid-winter into September. Woodland eucalypt and wattle pick up the pace next, through late winter into spring, climbing steadily through late winter to a peak in August or September. Grass pollen takes over next, building to a peak around November, before pollen counts gradually decline through January and February.

How often is the Dorrigo Mountain pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Dorrigo Mountain 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 Dorrigo Mountain 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 Dorrigo Mountain, 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.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
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. |
