On 16 July 2026, there are no significant pollen types in Perth.

As Optus Stadium's vast turf surface and surrounding Burswood parklands green up each spring, grass pollen from the Swan River foreshore reserves builds toward an October-November peak, the second act of Perth's compact pollen season. Tree pollen from riverside eucalypts and plantings comes first, typically August-September, part of the broader shift from the city's mild wet winter into its long dry summer, which ultimately suppresses pollen sharply as footy finals approach and the season wraps up.

The Perth 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 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.
