How to connect?

Toorak, Melbourne's most affluent suburb, is defined by extensive, manicured private gardens on large blocks, planted predominantly with exotic ornamental trees and shrubs, with mature elm and plane specimens common along its wide streets. Native bushland is essentially absent from the built environment. Toorak's pollen profile is accordingly dominated by cultivated exotic garden and street tree species rather than by any native vegetation influence.

Which pollen types are currently active in Melbourne?

When is pollen season in Melbourne?
Toorak's expansive private gardens and mature street trees give it one of Melbourne's more tree-pollen-dense inner suburbs, plane, elm and oak flowering August-September, with grass pollen from its parks and sportsgrounds contributing to the citywide October-December peak. The suburb's extensive tree canopy over large blocks means tree pollen can linger a little longer into spring here than in more built-up, tree-sparse suburbs. Even modest breezes here can stir up substantial pollen loads given the sheer volume of established garden trees.
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.
