Brisbane's pollen season runs largely year-round in the subtropical climate, with tree pollen from eucalyptus, acacia, and myrtle contributing from late winter through spring. Grass pollen peaks from September through November in the Southern Hemisphere spring. The subtropical setting means the season is longer than in southern Australian cities, with the wet summer from December to March providing some relief from sustained high pollen exposure.

The Brisbane 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 Brisbane, 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.
