Scone, in the Upper Hunter's horse-breeding country, has a pollen season shaped by extensive grazing pasture and nearby vineyards. Grass pollen from ryegrass and other pasture species builds from September and peaks October through December, a period that overlaps with the valley's key breeding season, making pasture management a local point of attention. Tree pollen, including from oaks and planes planted around the town, appears from August. Hunter Valley humidity in late spring can extend grass pollen exposure a little later than further south.

The Scone pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

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.

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 Scone, 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.
