Naracoorte pollen forecast - today, tomorrow and the week ahead

On 30 August 2026, overall pollen levels in Naracoorte are low. Myrtle is the main contributor to airborne pollen

On 31 August 2026, pollen conditions in Naracoorte will be similar to today, with myrtle at low levels

According to the five-day outlook, myrtle pollen levels are expected to gradually decrease, while grass pollen will increase, suggesting mixed conditions later in the week.

On 30 August 2026, Myrtle is the dominant pollen source in Naracoorte. grass, acacia, and cypress are not currently active.

Naracoorte, on South Australia's Limestone Coast near the famous fossil caves, sits in a transitional zone with a shorter, more variable pollen season than the wetter coastal districts nearby. Grass pollen from surrounding grazing pasture still peaks broadly through spring, September to November, but the district's lower and less reliable rainfall compared with coastal Limestone Coast towns can make the season less predictable year to year. Tree pollen from cypress windbreaks and eucalypts contributes from August in years with adequate winter rain.

The Naracoorte 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 Naracoorte, 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.
