Local Environmental Conditions
A stand of river oak lines the water, a reliable source of casuarina pollen through the warmer months; this sits just outside the immediate area. This area, just outside the immediate area, has a canopy of eucalypt threaded with wattle, wattle chief among them for allergenic potency here. Local readings for the surrounding area tend to follow this same general pattern.
River oak along the water gets the season underway before other species, arriving ahead of the rest of the season, cresting around mid-winter. Eucalypt and wattle in the nearby woodland follow through late winter and early spring, reaching maximum intensity across the August-September window. Grass pollen builds through spring and peaks in November, before gradually tapering off through the peak of summer into February.

How often is the K'gari pollen forecast updated?
The K'gari pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in K'gari 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 K'gari 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 K'gari, 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. |
