Local Environmental Conditions
West End is a leafy, established inner-city suburb with a mix of jacaranda-lined streets, other mature shade trees and pocket parks along the Brisbane River. Its character as an older, densely populated but green suburb gives it more tree cover than newer high-rise precincts, with jacaranda flowering conspicuously each October adding a seasonal splash of purple pollen-bearing colour.
West End's mix of leafy streets, riverside parkland and inner-city density gives it a pollen profile that runs almost year-round thanks to Brisbane's humid subtropical setting. Grass pollen across its parks and verges builds from September and holds into summer, longer than allergy sufferers in southern capitals typically experience, while tree pollen from the suburb's street plantings peaks August to October. Expect a further, smokier edge to the air between August and November as bushfire season precedes the wet.

How often is the Brisbane pollen forecast updated?
The Brisbane pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Brisbane 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 Brisbane 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 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.

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. |
