Where Melbourne's grass pollen comes from

Ryegrass pasture in western and northern Victoria is the main source of spring grass pollen here. On the map, particles leave pasture cells (ABARES land use) and ride today's forecast wind. Their number follows today's modelled level, so a dense stream means a high day. This season's peak is expected around 16 November, from the 2017-2025 average timing until this spring's pasture drying is observed by satellite.
