In this episode, Dr. Edwin Lampugnani from AirHealth dives into the upcoming 2024 grass pollen season, which is shaping up to be a challenging one for much of Australia. With forecasts from the Bureau of Meteorology predicting above-median rainfall between October and December, we could see a significant rise in pollen levels, particularly in cities like Sydney, Perth, and Tasmania.
Dr. Lampugnani explains what this means for allergy and asthma sufferers, offering practical advice on how to prepare, stay informed, and protect your health. From regional forecasts to tips on managing symptoms, this episode covers everything you need to know—whether you’re in Melbourne, Canberra, or Tasmania, or relying on apps like Melbourne Pollen and AirRater.

- The expected grass pollen season across different Australian regions
