According to the five-day outlook, myrtle pollen levels will increase later in the week.

On 4 August 2026, Myrtle is the dominant pollen source in Brisbane. acacia and cypress are not currently active.

Redland Bay's semi-rural, bayside setting on the edge of Moreton Bay combines coastal moderation with nearby grazing and horticultural land, tree pollen from eucalypt and paperbark building August through October, and grass pollen from surrounding rural-residential blocks and pasture running September to December, often a little more intensely than in Brisbane's denser inner suburbs given the greater local grass cover. Local horse paddocks and hobby farms nearby add further grass pollen exposure beyond the built-up suburbs.

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.
