Local Environmental Conditions
The area around this location in Karratha is mostly open grassland, with a good deal of scrubland. Grasses and weeds such as pigweed round out the local mix. Around here, scrubland contributes pollen from shrubs, grasses and herbs. Roadside verges and patches of open ground provide further room for grasses and weeds.
Temperatures stay between about 20°C and 35°C through the year, so plants release pollen in most months. Levels tend to be highest in drier spells, especially around October. During the rainy season, frequent heavy downpours wash much of the pollen out of the air. Grasses flower again and again through the year and are the most constant source.

How often is the Karratha pollen forecast updated?
The Karratha pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Karratha 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 Karratha 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 Karratha, 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.
Airmine’s atmospheric monitoring platform was developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team, using satellite and Earth observation technologies to improve emissions monitoring.
Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 pollen scores represent risk levels, not direct pollen measurements. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
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. |
