Introducing SneezeCast™: The Future of Pollen Forecasting

March 31, 2026

At Melbourne Pollen, we’ve spent years helping Australians stay one step ahead of airborne allergens, providing trusted forecasts, real-time data, and tools to better manage hay fever and asthma.

Today, we’re excited to share a glimpse into the next frontier of environmental health innovation.

Meet SneezeCast™

SneezeCast

What if you could know exactly when your next sneeze is coming?

We’ve been developing SneezeCast™, a new predictive AI model designed to forecast individual sneezing events up to 24 hours in advance.

By combining:

  • - Local pollen forecasts
  • - Air quality data
  • - Weather patterns
  • - Personal symptom trends

SneezeCast delivers highly personalised “sneeze alerts” to help you plan your day with confidence.

Early Results

Initial testing has shown promising outcomes:

  • ✔ 92% accuracy
  • ✔ Fewer surprise sneezes
  • ✔ Greater control over your day*
  • ✔ Improved meeting timing optimisation
  • ✔ Reduced awkward public moments
  • ✔ More strategic tissue deployment

*In theory

What Could This Mean?

Imagine:

  • - Getting a notification before a high-risk moment
  • - Planning your day around peak exposure times
  • - Avoiding that perfectly timed sneeze during an important meeting

We’re even exploring integrations with calendar apps—because managing your schedule should include everything.

One More Thing…

If SneezeCast™ sounds a little too good to be true… That’s because it is.

Happy April Fools’ Day from the Melbourne Pollen team!
