Local Environmental Conditions
Low-key beachside village fringed by extensive wallum heath and coastal banksia woodland on sandy, nutrient-poor soils typical of this stretch of the Sunshine Coast, with paperbark in damper heath depressions. Residential streets retain substantial native bushland buffers rather than dense ornamental planting. Wallum banksia and heath-shrub flowering in spring is the area's most distinctive pollen source, alongside milder grass pollen from smaller lawned areas.
Peregian Beach's quieter coastal setting on the Sunshine Coast shares the subtropical pattern of its neighbouring beach towns, tree pollen from eucalypt and coastal banksia peaking August-October and grass pollen from foreshore reserves and parks running September to December. Onshore breezes here keep counts generally milder than in the more built-up hinterland suburbs further from the coast. Established coastal gardens throughout the suburb add a further modest tree pollen contribution each spring.

Does pollen in Maroochydore 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 Maroochydore 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 Maroochydore, 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. |
