Local Environmental Conditions
Here, close by, the riverbank shelters river oak, whose pollen spreads readily on the wind from spring onward. Seasonal timing here generally tracks the wider region, give or take a week or so. Surrounding neighborhoods with similar tree cover typically see a closely comparable pollen mix. As with most local readings, actual levels can vary somewhat with short-term weather swings.
At Barkly Homestead Roadhouse, the waterside river oak is consistently first to release pollen each year, starting well before the main spring rush, topping out around September. Grass pollen climbs toward a November peak, then holding at a high level well into January before easing off. This general pattern holds fairly steady across the surrounding region from year to year.

How often is the Tablelands pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Tablelands 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 Tablelands 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 Tablelands, 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. |
