Local Environmental Conditions
Kununurra was built around the Ord River irrigation scheme, so irrigated crops — mangoes, sandalwood, sorghum — surround a town otherwise set in eucalypt savanna woodland; boab trees are a signature local feature, with paperbark wetlands and pandanus lining the river and lake margins. Like much of the monsoonal north, this area sees the bulk of its plant growth and flowering during the wet season, with a distinctly quieter dry season the rest of the year.
Kununurra, in WA's East Kimberley irrigation district, follows the Top End's monsoonal wet-dry pollen pattern rather than the state's Mediterranean southwest calendar. Grass pollen from irrigated farmland and surrounding savanna builds through the dry season from May, peaking later in the dry, while tree pollen from eucalypt, acacia and paperbark species typically opens around August to October. The wet season from November to April brings heavy monsoon rain that suppresses pollen until the following dry season resumes, with irrigation sustaining some grass growth even through drier months.

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