Pollen forecast for Adelaide today
Pollen levels in Adelaide today by trees, grasses and weeds, the forecast for the coming days, and when each plant’s pollen season usually starts and peaks.
In Adelaide, pollen levels are highest between spring and summer, and SA Health advises people with hay fever or asthma to follow the Adelaide pollen forecast from October to December. Winter is quiet for grasses and weeds: a study of Adelaide pollen counts from 2003 to 2017 found low levels of grass and weed pollen in June, July and August. Some local weeds can also trigger hay fever, among them Salvation Jane, also known as Paterson’s curse, which is not included in this forecast. The calendar below is an estimate for a typical year; actual dates shift with the weather.

- Keep windows closed when the level is high and air rooms after rain.
- After a long time outdoors, change clothes and wash your hair; dry laundry indoors.
- Sunglasses help keep pollen out of your eyes.
- If you have allergy symptoms, talk to a doctor — this page does not replace medical advice.
