Pollen forecast for Wellington today
Pollen levels in Wellington today by trees, grasses and weeds, the forecast for the coming days, and when each plant’s pollen season usually starts and peaks.
In New Zealand the grass pollen season peaks between October and Christmas, and it starts about a month earlier at the top of the North Island than at the bottom of the South Island. Ryegrass is the main culprit. Pollen levels are generally lower in coastal areas, but the whole country is surrounded by grazing land, so grass pollen is plentiful even near the coast; inland pastoral areas such as Palmerston North can have relatively severe seasons. Tree pollen such as silver birch, from August to October, is not included in this forecast: for Wellington the data source reports grass pollen only. The calendar below is an estimate for a typical year; 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.
