Local Environmental Conditions
Here, just around the area, a stand of river oak lines the water, a reliable source of casuarina pollen through the warmer months. A mix of eucalypt and wattle, wattle in particular a notorious trigger for hay fever across southern Australia, within the neighborhood. A green space of mown lawn and planted plane trees, both feeding into local pollen counts; this sits close to this spot.
Water-edge river oak is usually the first allergenic tree active here, usually peaking sometime between July and September. By late winter, eucalypt and wattle in the woods take over, typically the year's sharpest tree-pollen spell, centered on wattle's flowering in August and September. Grass pollen climbs toward a November peak, before continuing at a lower but still notable level through January and February.

Does pollen in North Maleny 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 North Maleny 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 North Maleny, 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. |
