It is said that more than 20% of Japanese are troubled by "Kafunsho",heyfever in English.
"Kafunsho" is an allergic reaction to the pollen of certain plants such as cedar and Japanese cypress.
Weather forecast in this season reports everyday how much ceder pollen flies.
For my friend who has Kafunsho, this forecast is more important than it's fine or rainy.
Attached image is the latest pollen forecast for Kanto area where I live in.

Now I know I'm a victim of "Kafunsho"! :)))
'Febre dos fenos' in Portuguese.
Do you know there are two hundred portuguese words in Japan?
Best regards
I.
My sympathies to the Kafunsho sufferers. We haven't started our hayfever season, but it will be soon.
I'm sorry for those affected by "kafunsho". It's good that you have a forecast to warn people about it.
Wow, I've never expected that somewhere there will be such a forecast. Learning new things every day, I guess. :)
In Bulgaria many people suffer from this too. The trees which cause the "Kafunsho" the most are poplars.
