Local Environmental Conditions
Mossman sits at the southern edge of the Daintree, surrounded by sugarcane fields on the coastal flats and dense lowland rainforest on the ranges behind town; paperbark wetlands and mangrove-lined tidal creeks complete a classic wet-tropics vegetation mosaic. Pollen activity here follows the wet-dry seasonal cycle typical of the tropical north, peaking during the humid wet season and easing considerably through the dry winter months.
Mossman, near the Daintree in Queensland's far north, sits in one of the country's wettest and most tropical environments, giving it a pollen season dominated by the wet-dry cycle. Heavy wet-season rain from November to April keeps pollen and mould largely suppressed, while the dry season from May to October allows grass pollen from cane and pasture land to build, with tree pollen from paperbark, eucalypt and rainforest margin species typically appearing later in the dry, around August to October.

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