It seems that there are places in Kyushu, Shikoku, and the Tokai region where there will be a lot of pollen scattered today, the 22nd. Although it rains in the Kanto region, there will still be a “slightly high” amount of pollen scattered. There are some places where pollen has started to spread in earnest, so please take precautions such as wearing a mask when you go out.
Pollen flies even in the rain
Today, the 22nd, it will rain in many places from Kyushu to Kanto, but there will still be many places where pollen will fly.
It looks like there will be a lot of pollen in the air, especially in Kyushu, where pollen has started to disperse in earnest. Kagoshima, Kochi, and Nagoya are expected to have a high number of cases. Although it will rain in the Kanto region, there will still be a “slightly high” amount of pollen scattered.Please take precautions against pollen such as wearing a mask before going out.
What about pollen dispersion in the future?
From here on out, pollen scattering is likely to increase, especially in western Japan such as Kyushu and Shikoku. Fukuoka is forecast to have “high” pollen tomorrow on the 23rd and 25th, and “very high” on the 24th, 26th, and 27th due to mostly sunny skies and a sudden increase in pollen. Kyushu is at the peak of pollen dispersion, so even more measures will be needed.
In Tokyo and other areas, there will be many cloudy, rainy, or snowy days in the future, and it is expected that there will be “less” rain after tomorrow, the 23rd, but those who are sensitive to pollen should take precautions.
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.
