Pollen count Brisbane residents check each morning
The Brisbane pollen count today is 34 (Low). No single plant stands out in today’s readings; the Grass category is the one the index is led by. The full split is tree pollen 19, grass pollen 37, weed pollen 25. The sections below break that headline number down by plant, by day and by what the band means in practice. Pollen Atlas updated this count on Friday, November 6, 2026.
A Low band on the Pollen Atlas index means the Total Pollen Index has stayed in the lower part of the 0–100 scale. Readings in this band are built from low individual category values rather than from one large spike, and the category split above matters more than the headline number: a low total can still contain one category, such as grass pollen, reading noticeably higher than the rest, which is why the split is printed on every Brisbane page.
Outside its main late-spring and early-summer window, grass pollen usually appears as a small background value rather than the driver of the total. A low grass reading alongside a higher weed or mold value is a typical off-peak pattern. Grass should be read from its own value on this page, not assumed from the calendar: the index reports today’s modelled value, and the modelled value outranks any general seasonal expectation.

Allergies in Brisbane follow the Australia calendar set out below — the chapters, the plants behind them, and the 5-day forecast on this page show whether today is typical for the season or an exception to it. If you are checking allergies today in Brisbane before heading outdoors, the split at the top of this page is the part to read: it shows which pollen is doing the work today, not just how high the total sits.
Read the five-day table on this page as the Brisbane allergy forecast: today reads 34 (Low), and the day-by-day outlook shows whether Brisbane allergies are set to ease or build across the week — the days to plan outdoor time around are the ones where the index steps down, not just today.
In practice, the allergy count Brisbane today records is this same combined reading — tree, grass, weed and mold in one index.
The Brisbane allergy count today is 34 (Low) — the same Total Pollen Index as the pollen count above, in one combined reading.

Pollen by type in Brisbane
What is driving Brisbane’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 34 (Low) is set by grass pollen at 37 (Low on its own scale) — about 46% of the four category readings added together, 12 points clear of the next category, weed pollen at 25. Grass-led totals tend to hold a level for days at a time rather than spike and clear, because grasses pollinate over an extended period. Grass pollen leading in November is a modelled reading, reported as modelled — no regional calendar is asserted for Australia, and the modelled value outranks any general seasonal expectation.
In the plant detail, Grasses (grass) carries the strongest single plant reading, at a Universal Pollen Index of 3 (Moderate), followed by Cypress Pine at 1. No Australia allergy season guide is published yet to cross-reference these names against — they are today’s measured plant detail for Brisbane, ranked by plant index.
Across the five-day window the Total Pollen Index runs from 14 to 34, changing band 1 time. Today’s 34 sits 5 points above the window’s average of 29.4 — a moving window, worth reading day by day rather than from the average.

Brisbane pollen through the year
The Brisbane pollen year runs in chapters, set by the Global pattern and the Australia calendar. Trees come first: tree pollen seasons vary with local climate and vegetation, so this page reports the measured readings first and treats any calendar as background only. Grasses take the middle of the year: grass pollen seasons vary with local climate and vegetation, and the measured value outranks any general seasonal expectation. Weeds close it out: weed pollen seasons vary with local climate and vegetation, and no regional calendar is asserted for this area.
No Australia allergy season guide is published yet, so this page does not single out signature pollens for Brisbane — the calendar above is the Global regional pattern, and the plant detail on this page names what today’s feed actually records.
November in Brisbane is reported from its modelled readings, not from a regional calendar — no regional calendar is asserted for Australia, so the calendar alone explains little today, and the modelled split above carries the story. No Australia allergy season guide is published yet — this calendar follows the Global regional pattern. See Brisbane pollen count rankings and Brisbane on the pollen heatmap.
How to read this index
Pollen Atlas reports the Brisbane pollen count on a Total Pollen Index from 0 to 100, built from separate tree, grass and weed readings. The total is a summary, not an average of the three: a single strong category can lift it, and three quiet categories can hold it down whatever the month. Index values are a modelled pollen risk index computed by Pollen Atlas from open weather, vegetation and phenology data, calibrated against CDC/NAB season data, with plant detail by the Google Pollen API. The index is a modelled 0–100 scale, not a measured count, and figures update through the day, so a morning and an evening visit to this page can legitimately show different numbers.
Brisbane in today’s national picture
At 34 (Low), Brisbane ranks joint 7617th of the 90896 cities Pollen Atlas tracks today — in the middle of the national table. The highest reading in the country today is Beja, Portugal at 52, and the lowest is Los Ángeles de San Rafael, Spain at 5. The whole table spans 47 points today — a wide-open day, when the top and bottom of the table are effectively in different seasons.
Around Brisbane: Logan City, Australia (21 km away) reads 32 (Low); Gold Coast, Australia (71 km away) reads 34 (Low); Sunshine Coast, Australia (90 km away) reads 32 (Low). Brisbane reads 2 points higher than its nearest tracked neighbour today. Across Australia’s 15 tracked cities, today runs from 13 in Newcastle to 34 in Gold Coast.
Pollen totals are population numbers; symptoms are personal. The same reading can leave one Brisbane resident untouched and floor another, depending on which pollens they are sensitised to. If this pattern finds you every season, allergists in Brisbane, Australia can test whether tree, grass, weed or mold is the category that matters for you — the four readings at the top of this page are the starting point for that conversation.
