Albany, on WA's cooler south coast, has a pollen season running roughly August to November, shaped by the region's Mediterranean-type climate with mild wet winters and dry summers. Karri and jarrah forest flowering, along with coastal heath and wildflowers for which the Great Southern region is well known, peaks through spring. Cooler temperatures than Perth mean the season can run slightly later, with grass pollen building into early summer before the drier months suppress activity.

The Albany 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 Albany, 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.
