Local Environmental Conditions
The heart of Tweed Heads West sits in a varied landscape of woodland, open water and mangroves. Close to a stream or river, riverside vegetation contributes to what is in the air. Woodland on all sides makes trees an important local pollen source. Grass pollen is significant here, and pigweed contributes weed pollen.
With warm weather all year, between about 20°C and 25°C, pollen is present in most months rather than in one short season. Levels tend to be highest in drier spells, especially around June. During the rainy season, frequent heavy downpours wash much of the pollen out of the air. Warm, humid weather keeps mold spores around for most of the year as well.

Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.
Are pollen levels in Tweed Heads West 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 Tweed Heads West, 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.

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. |
