Currently, the dispersion of cedar pollen has reached its peak, with amounts confirmed in the Tama region of Tokyo exceeding predictions.

On the other hand, in areas like Chiyoda Ward, the levels remain at only 20% of what was forecasted, indicating a disparity in pollen levels across different regions.

Chaco: Hey Log, I heard the cedar pollen is really bad right now. What’s going on?
Log: Yeah, it’s at its peak. Apparently, in the Tama area, it’s even exceeding the predicted levels.
Chaco: Seriously? That must be tough for people with allergies!
Navi: The amount of pollen varies by region, so we need to be careful. It’s especially significant in the Tama area.
Log: Exactly, we need to be well-prepared. Cedar pollen is starting to spread too, so we have to stay vigilant moving forward.
Chaco: It sounds like something out of a drama! I can’t believe the pollen is flying around like this!

Admin’s Note

The season for pollen allergies has arrived. It’s surprising to see how the amount of pollen, especially cedar pollen, varies by region, especially now that it’s at its peak. In the Tama area, it’s already exceeding predictions, so we need to be careful. Through the conversation between Chako and Log, I could really sense the feelings of those who are actually struggling with hay fever. Be sure to take proper measures against pollen allergies, and everyone should find ways to maintain their health.
