Grafton's most distinctive feature is its extensive jacaranda plantings, which flower spectacularly each October, complemented by eucalypt woodland, casuarina along the Clarence River, and productive floodplain agriculture including sugarcane and grazing land in the surrounding district. Remnant riverine forest also lines stretches of the Clarence, softening the otherwise cleared farmland around the city. Community parks and remnant bushland corridors also persist within the surrounding shire.

Which pollen types are currently active in Grafton?

When is pollen season in Grafton?
Grafton, famous for its jacaranda-lined streets, has a pollen season that reflects both the broader subtropical pattern and this strong ornamental influence, with tree pollen — boosted by the city's jacarandas flowering around October — peaking August to October and grass pollen extending from September through December along the fertile Clarence River floodplain, where extensive pasture keeps grass pollen counts elevated into early summer. Warm, humid conditions typical of the lower Clarence Valley generally sustain pollen activity well into early summer.
How often is the Grafton pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Grafton 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 Grafton 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 Grafton, 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.
