Pollen forecast for Durban today
Pollen levels in Durban today by trees, grasses and weeds, the forecast for the coming days, and when each plant’s pollen season usually starts and peaks.
In Durban, grass is the most common pollen in the air. It was the top pollen type both in a 1989–1991 study and in national monitoring by the South African Pollen Monitoring Network in 2019–2021, when it made up almost 29 per cent of all pollen counted. In the recent data, grass pollen rose in January, with smaller peaks from February and March until late autumn in May. Daily average levels seldom exceeded 30 grains per cubic metre, but the season has become longer than in the earlier study. Records cover only a few seasons, so the calendar below is an estimate; actual timing depends on the weather.

On high-pollen days
- Pollen levels are usually highest on warm, dry and windy days; rain washes pollen out of the air for a while.
- 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.
