Today, the 17th (Sunday), there will be rain and snow in many places, but we must not let our guard down. There will be a lot of pollen flying. Please continue to take all possible precautions.
Today, the 17th, pollen will scatter even if the weather is bad.
Today, the 17th (Sunday), there will be rain and snow in many places due to the effects of low pressure and fronts approaching from the Sea of Japan and moist air. Although there is less pollen scattered than when it is sunny, there are many places where pollen is at its peak, so we need to take strong measures.
The above figure shows the prediction of cedar pollen scattering at 3:00 pm today, the 17th (Sunday). Pollen is expected to fly from Kyushu to Tohoku, and dark colors can be seen in some areas, indicating a large amount of pollen. During this time, rain and snow are expected to fall mainly from Kyushu to the Pacific side of the Tokai region, Hokuriku and the Sea of Japan side of Tohoku, and there will be many places where pollen will fly. When going out, take precautions such as wearing masks, hats, and clothes made of materials that don’t attract pollen easily.
Pollen season continues
Tomorrow, the 18th (Monday), the weather will improve and it will be sunny in many places. After the rain, a large amount of pollen will be scattered, so it is expected that there will be many places where pollen is “extremely high”.
From the 19th (Tuesday) onwards, temperatures will be low nationwide, and in some places the weather will deteriorate around the 20th (Wednesday: Vernal Equinox Day). Even so, large amounts of pollen will continue to be scattered in the Tokai and Kanto regions. From Kyushu to Kinki, there are days when the ranking is low, such as “slightly high” or “high,” but the pollen season is expected to continue.
Pollen countermeasures when going out
To alleviate the symptoms of hay fever, it is important to avoid pollen. Wear a mask and glasses, and dress wisely.
① Glasses
Experiments have shown that the amount of pollen entering the eyes is reduced by approximately 40% compared to when not wearing glasses, and by approximately 65% when using glasses for hay fever with protective covers.
② Mask
I think many people use it to prevent infectious diseases, but it can also reduce the amount of pollen you inhale by about one-third to one-sixth. It is important to choose a mask that fits your face. It is also known that applying gauze to the inside of the mask (inner mask) further reduces the amount of pollen entering the nose.
③ Ideas for clothing
In general, clothing made of wool attracts pollen more easily than cotton or synthetic fibers, making it easier to carry pollen indoors. Wool attracts pollen about 10 times more easily than cotton. When going out, avoid wearing woolen clothing on the outside and choose jackets made of smooth material.
