Jakarta pollen forecast - today, tomorrow and the week ahead

On 16 July 2026, overall pollen levels in Jakarta are moderate. Amaranthaceae is the main contributor to airborne pollen, while cypress remain at lower levels

On 17 July 2026, pollen conditions in Jakarta will be different from today, with cypress at low levels, willow at low levels and amaranthaceae increasing

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

On 16 July 2026, Amaranthaceae is the dominant pollen source in Jakarta. cypress are also present but at lower levels. willow are not currently active.

Jakarta's pollen season runs year-round due to the equatorial climate, with no distinct start or end. Tree pollen from mahogany, acacia, and fig contributes continuously, while grass pollen from urban open spaces adds to exposure throughout the year. The wet season from November to March provides the most frequent rainfall interruptions, offering periodic relief from elevated pollen levels.

The Jakarta 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 Jakarta, 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.
