Local Environmental Conditions
This area, close to this spot, has the nearest creek or river hosts river oak, among the most allergenic wind-pollinated trees found on watercourses. Neighboring areas with similar land cover tend to show a closely matching pollen mix. Year-to-year swings in rainfall and wind can shift this picture somewhat either way.
The waterside river oak is consistently first to release pollen each year, usually peaking sometime between July and September. As spring turns to summer, grass pollen rises toward its November high, then holding at a high level well into January before easing off. Actual peak timing can drift earlier or later depending on how the season's weather plays out.

How often is the Mackay pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Mackay 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 Mackay 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 Mackay, 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. |
