Good morning, Melbourne Pollen community!

Yesterday's extreme grass pollen levels were no small event. As our chart showed, the levels peaked around 8 PM, impacting many of you dealing with hay fever or asthma. This morning, November 3rd, we're starting to see a dip in pollen counts, but conditions are still high and worth noting as we move through the day.

Based on our current grass pollen forecast, parts of Victoria, including Melbourne, can expect high pollen levels today. The central and western regions, such as Bendigo, Horsham, and Geelong, are also under high alerts. For those in the extreme zone, which includes areas around Wodonga, it’s especially important to take precautions.

Tips for Managing Today:

• Monitor Your Environment: If you’re in or near areas expecting high or extreme pollen, limit outdoor activities during peak times (usually late morning to early evening).
• Stay Prepared: Keep windows closed, use air purifiers indoors, and carry any necessary medications if you’re heading out.
• Check the App: Stay updated with real-time changes through the Melbourne Pollen app to plan your day accordingly.
• Supporting Our Service: Your support through app subscriptions ensures we can continue providing vital, real-time pollen updates each season. Thank you for helping us keep Melbourne informed and safe!

Stay safe, be prepared, and take care of your health!
