Parramatta sits on the Cumberland Plain, where remnant grey box and forest red gum woodland once dominated before urbanisation; today the city mixes planted plane trees, jacarandas and eucalypts along the river corridor with mown parkland grass, while acacia and casuarina persist in bushland reserves at its fringes. Locally, wattle is usually the first to flower in late winter, with eucalypt blossom and pasture grasses following through spring; by mid-summer the grass pollen season has typically eased, leaving a quieter run into autumn.

When is pollen season in Parramatta?
Parramatta sits in Sydney's western basin, where tree pollen from casuarina, plane and birch builds through August and September before grasses take over. Ryegrass and Bermuda grass pollen typically peaks between October and December, often coinciding with humid, thunderstorm-prone afternoons that can trigger sudden asthma flare-ups. Being inland of the harbour, Parramatta tends to run a few degrees warmer than the coast, which can pull tree flowering forward by a week or two. The season eases by mid-January as summer heat and drier air set in.
How often is the Parramatta pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Parramatta 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 Parramatta 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 Parramatta, 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.
