Due to the increase in grass pollen levels in Melbourne and surrounding areas today, a warning has been issued to the public to take special care.
Because of this, people suffering from hay fever and asthma have been warned to be especially careful.
The risk is high in Mali and Gippsland, while much of Victoria is under risk.
The forecast for grass pollen levels in Melbourne has shown that the current state of the pollen season is higher than in recent days.
In general, November is the hay fever season for Melbourne and its surrounding areas, and this grass pollen risk level lasts for about 20 days during that time.
Experts have warned that this year’s grass pollination season could be challenging as rain is forecast, resulting in rapid growth in grass growth.
Due to this, people can check the Melbourne Pollen website or use the Melbourne Pollen Count app to get information to avoid unnecessary respiratory problems.
