Yarraville, in Melbourne's inner west, retains a strong working-class heritage streetscape with mature exotic street trees, and nearby Westgate Park along the Yarra River mouth includes planted native trees and wetland vegetation around its lakes. Industrial land use borders much of the suburb. This combination of heritage street planting and adjacent river-mouth wetland gives Yarraville a somewhat more mixed pollen profile than the purely residential inner suburbs.

Which pollen types are currently active in Melbourne?

When is pollen season in Melbourne?
Yarraville's industrial-heritage streetscape, softened by parks like Yarraville Gardens, sees tree pollen from plane and elm build from August into September, with grass pollen from local reserves and nearby Westgate Park's open grassland peaking October-December. Being in Melbourne's west, the suburb can run a little warmer and drier through spring than the leafier eastern suburbs, occasionally sharpening the grass pollen peak. The suburb's older street trees, planted decades ago, still contribute meaningfully to the August tree pollen count.
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.
