When is pollen season in Melbourne?

Grass pollen runs high across most of the year without a single defined peak, and high humidity keeps mold counts elevated for much of the year. Year-round warmth keeps some pollen and mold present in almost every month, a defining feature of the local season.
How often is the Melbourne pollen forecast updated?

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

Does pollen in Melbourne 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 Melbourne 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 Melbourne, 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.
