Luddenham sits in Sydney's rural west, Cumberland Plain woodland country of grey box and forest red gum interspersed with grazing paddocks and market gardens; the semi-rural setting also carries scattered plantings of exotic shade trees around older homesteads. As with much of temperate south-eastern Australia, grass pollen is the dominant late-spring concern locally, with an earlier and shorter wattle peak through August and September providing the season's first flush.

When is pollen season in Luddenham?
Luddenham, in Sydney's semi-rural western fringe near the new airport precinct, has a pollen season heavier in grass than more built-up parts of the city. Tree pollen from casuarina, privet and introduced species builds from August, but the area's remaining pasture and rural land give it a stronger ryegrass-driven grass pollen peak from October to December than inner Sydney suburbs. Western Sydney's hotter, drier summers compared with the coast can bring this grass season to a slightly earlier close by January.
How often is the Luddenham pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Luddenham 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 Luddenham 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 Luddenham, 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.
