On 24 August 2026, there are no significant pollen types in Melbourne.

Named for the moonah scrub that lines its peninsula fairways, the Legends Course at Moonah Links still falls within Melbourne's grass pollen catchment, with ryegrass building from October and peaking through December across its open turf. Wattle and eucalypt further from the coast begin releasing pollen from August, ahead of that peak, and the same spring weather pattern behind the city's 2016 thunderstorm asthma event, the largest recorded, continues to pose an occasional risk this far south.

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

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.

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.
