Local Environmental Conditions
The landscape around Palm Island Aboriginal Shire is heavily wooded. Close to running water, riverside vegetation contributes to what is in the air. In the immediate area, the woodland makes trees an important source. Gaps in the canopy, trails and forest edges give grasses and herbs room to grow. Much of the pollen in dense woodland is released high in the canopy, where the wind carries it easily.
Pollen is released through most of the year here, instead of in a single season. Levels tend to rise during drier spells and fall back after heavy rain. Warm, dry and windy days give the highest readings, while rain clears much of the pollen from the air. Actual levels on any given day depend on the weather, with dry, breezy days the worst and wet days the mildest.

Are pollen levels in Palm Island Aboriginal Shire 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 Palm Island Aboriginal Shire, 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 pollen scores represent risk levels, not direct pollen measurements. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
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. |
