Local Environmental Conditions
Coastal suburb fringed by tuart woodland and banksia scrub on stabilised dunes, with a well-known golf course and lake reserve contributing large areas of maintained turf alongside remnant native bushland pockets. Street plantings mix coastal-tolerant natives with introduced shade trees. Spring tuart and banksia flowering along the dune reserves combines with grass pollen from golf-course and parkland turf for a mixed native-and-lawn pollen profile.
Karrinyup's position in Perth's northern suburbs, not far from the coast, gets some benefit from onshore breezes moderating its Mediterranean-pattern season, wattle flowering from August and grass pollen from local parks and reserves peaking September-October. The suburb's established gardens add a layer of tree pollen beyond the wattle, though counts still fall away sharply once summer's dry heat arrives. The shopping centre precinct's surrounding gardens add a further modest tree pollen contribution each spring.

When is pollen season in Perth?
How often is the Perth pollen forecast updated?
The Perth pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Perth 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 Perth 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 Perth, 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.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
