Today, the 19th (Sun), the weather will recover and it will be sunny. Cedar pollen is expected to scatter from Kyushu to Tohoku. Hinoki pollen will also fly mainly from Kyushu to Kanto. If you have hay fever, take measures.
Today, the 19th (Sun), take measures
Today, the 19th (Sun), the weather will recover and it will be sunny. The maximum temperature will be above normal, and the days will be warmer than in spring.
Yesterday, the 18th (Saturday), cold rain and wet snow fell, and pollen dispersal was suppressed in many places, but today, the 19th (Sunday), pollen dispersal will increase.
Cedar pollen is expected to spread widely from Kyushu to Tohoku. In addition, cypress pollen is likely to scatter in large quantities, mainly in Kyushu. Hinoki pollen will fly from Shikoku to Kanto. If you have hay fever, please take proper measures with masks and glasses.
In the second half of the week, rain will hold back the scattering
The 20th (Monday) will also be broadly sunny, and there will be many places from Kyushu to Tohoku where pollen is “extremely high”.
On the 21st (Tuesday), the weather will go downhill from the west on the vernal equinox. Dispersal will be suppressed in Kyushu. From Tokai to Tohoku, thorough measures are still necessary. From the 22nd (Wednesday), it will rain intermittently mainly from Kyushu to Kanto due to the influence of the front and low pressure. The scattering of pollen is suppressed, and people with hay fever are likely to feel a little relieved.
peak still continues
The pollen dispersal will be suppressed by rain in the second half of the week, but the peak of pollen dispersal is not over.
In the area of western Japan (Kyushu to Kinki), the peak of cedar pollen has passed, but due to the large amount of pollen dispersal this year, we cannot let our guard down even after the peak. Also, cypress pollen will peak from late March to mid-April. In eastern Japan (Tokai, Kanto, Hokuriku), the peak of cedar pollen is expected to continue until the end of March. As temperatures are expected to be higher than normal in late March, the peak of cypress trees in Tokyo will start in late March, earlier than usual, and continue until mid-April.
I still need pollen measures for a while.
Measures against pollen when going out
It is important to avoid pollen to alleviate the symptoms of hay fever. Put on a mask and goggles, and devise your clothes.
① Glasses
Experimental results show that the amount of pollen entering the eye is reduced by about 40% compared to when glasses are not used, and the amount of pollen entering the eye is reduced by about 65% with protective covers for hay fever.
② Mask
I think that many people use it to prevent infectious diseases, but the amount of pollen inhaled can be reduced from about 1/3 to 1/6. It is important to choose a mask that fits your face. In addition, it is known that applying gauze to the inside of the mask (inner mask) further reduces pollen entering the nose.
③ Ingenuity of clothes
In general, pollen adheres more easily to wool clothing than cotton or synthetic fibers, making it easier to bring pollen indoors. Pollen sticks to wool more easily than cotton, about 10 times. When you go out, avoid wearing woolen clothes on the outside and choose a jacket with a smooth surface.
