Dubbo sits amid the river red gum corridors of the Macquarie River, with surrounding plains given over to cropping and grazing on the semi-arid transitional country between the tablelands and the western plains. Eucalypt woodland and wattle scrub persist along waterways and travelling-stock reserves, while open paddocks carry introduced pasture and cereal grasses. The mix of riverine forest and broadacre farmland shapes a pollen calendar dominated by native trees early and grasses through the warmer months.

When is pollen season in Dubbo?
Dubbo's inland location on the Macquarie River gives it a slightly more compressed pollen season than the coast. Eucalypt and wattle trees release pollen from August, with river red gums along the Macquarie adding to the tree count. Grasses across the surrounding cropping and grazing plains peak from October through December, often intensified by warm, dry inland conditions that carry pollen further on the wind. Thunderstorms crossing the plains in spring can trigger rapid asthma flare-ups, a known risk across inland NSW during peak grass season.
How often is the Dubbo pollen forecast updated?

The Dubbo pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Does pollen in Dubbo 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 Dubbo 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 Dubbo, 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.
