Kempsey, in the Macleay Valley, follows the subtropical pollen pattern with tree pollen from eucalypts and casuarina peaking August to October and grass pollen extending from September into December, reflecting the extensive dairy and beef grazing pasture that surrounds the town along the Macleay River floodplain, where warm, humid conditions sustain vigorous pasture growth well into summer. Warm, humid valley conditions typically sustain pasture grass pollen well into the early summer months each year.

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

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.

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 Kempsey, 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.
