Local Environmental Conditions
Here, near this part of town, water here is bordered by river oak, a casuarina species known for prolific, far-carrying pollen. Ground-level conditions like local landscaping can nudge these figures slightly either way. Nearby weather stations report comparable trends across the broader stretch of the region. Small shifts in elevation or soil type can move these figures a little either way.
The bank's river oak kicks off the pollen season ahead of the rest, peaking in mid-winter through September. Grass pollen climbs toward a November peak, holding through the summer months before tapering off by late February. Year-to-year timing varies a little, though the general sequence stays fairly consistent here. Actual peak timing can drift earlier or later depending on how the season's weather plays out.

How often is the Kuranda pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Kuranda 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 Kuranda 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 Kuranda, 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. |
