Wollongong's coastal setting on the Tasman Sea features eucalyptus, paperbark, and acacia as the main native tree pollen sources in parks and along streets, with exposure varying between green areas and the more built-up city centre. Surrounding Illawarra escarpment woodland and coastal heathland contribute substantial tree and grass pollen, while onshore Pacific winds can periodically disperse urban pollen.

Which pollen types are currently active in Wollongong?

When is pollen season in Wollongong?
Wollongong's pollen season in Australia runs from August through January, following the Southern Hemisphere spring pattern. Tree pollen from eucalyptus, paperbark, and acacia opens the season in August, with grass pollen peaking through November and December. The Illawarra escarpment woodland contributes substantial tree pollen, while the coastal Tasman Sea position means onshore winds can periodically disperse pollen along the narrow coastal strip.
How often is the Wollongong pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Wollongong 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 Wollongong 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 Wollongong, 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.
