Melbourne Pollen Count

The Melbourne Pollen App provides Victorians with pollen forecasts generated using real-world pollen count data collected from our statewide network of monitoring sites.
You can use the Melbourne Pollen App to track your hay fever symptoms to figure out which pollen types are triggering your symptoms. Our notification system can alert you when grass pollen levels in your area are high, helping you plan your activities.

Since the November 2016 thunderstorm asthma event, Melbourne Pollen has worked closely with the Victorian Department of Health and Bureau of Meteorology to develop and implement a Thunderstorm Asthma forecast system to minimize the impact that any future epidemic thunderstorm asthma events may have on the community and the Victorian health system. Our notification system can alert you to forecasts of thunderstorm asthma in your area.

Key Features:

Accurate Pollen Forecasts: Get reliable predictions for a variety of pollen types, enabling you to identify and manage your hay fever triggers effectively.

Proactive Notifications: Receive timely alerts when grass pollen levels spike in your area, allowing you to plan your activities with confidence.

Thunderstorm Asthma Forecasts: Developed in collaboration with health authorities, the Thunderstorm Asthma forecast system helps protect the community and health system from potential future epidemics.

Contribute to Research: By participating in our surveys, you play a crucial role in advancing our understanding of pollen's impact on health, ultimately benefiting the wider community.

Comprehensive Allergy Management: From pollen counts to Thunderstorm Asthma alerts, we provide a complete suite of tools to help you navigate allergy season.

This update makes symptom logging faster, map insights clearer, and sharing more convenient.

A clearer map

• Report markers now cluster automatically, reducing overlap at lower zoom levels.
• The timeline starts collapsed and expands when playback begins.
• Tap a group of symptom reports to view the severity distribution and switch between Time, Age and Gender breakdowns.

Faster daily check-ins

Easier sharing
