How to connect?

Hawthorn, bordering the Yarra River, combines established garden-suburb streetscapes, with mature elm and other exotic street trees, alongside riverside parkland carrying remnant river red gum and native riparian vegetation along the Yarra corridor. Private gardens are extensively planted with exotic ornamentals. The riverside parkland gives Hawthorn a moderate native tree contribution layered over its predominantly exotic, elm-shaded residential character.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which pollen types are currently active in Melbourne?

On 4 August 2026, there are no significant pollen types in Melbourne.

When is pollen season in Melbourne?
Hawthorn's leafy streets along the Yarra River give it a similar profile to neighbouring Kew, with substantial plane and elm tree pollen from August into September and grass pollen from riverside parklands and sportsgrounds building to the October-December peak. The river corridor here can carry pollen along the valley on still days, adding to counts generated locally by the suburb's mature gardens. Established private gardens throughout the suburb add a further, harder-to-quantify layer of tree pollen each spring.
How often is the Melbourne pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Melbourne 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 Melbourne 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 Melbourne, 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.
