(Spokesman) Islamabad, 25th February 2016 PRESS RELEASE Outlook of Pollen Season 2016 First spring rain likely during first week of March which will kick start the pollen season in twin cities
Harsh winter is over and spring has set in. Day and night temperatures are gradually picking up their normal rhythm giving rise to sprouting, flowering and fruit-setting in the territorial domain of the capital including Rawalpindi. Rain is expected from 1-3 March in Islamabad and Rawalpindi followed by the clear skies. The pollen concentration will increase gradually with temperature and attain its peak around mid March. Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has installed pollen monitoring devices for spring season in E, F, G and H sectors of Islamabad. Pollen monitoring section of PMD monitors eight types of pollens i.e. Paper Mulberry, Pine, Dandelion, Cannabis, Acacia, Alternaria, Eucalyptus and Grasses. The Paper Mulberry is the most abundant among all and its concentration touches the extreme limits of about 40,000 per cubic meter of air at the peak of blossom season. People suffering from respiratory diseases experience serious problems due to sharp increase in pollen concentrations. During March, four spells of rain associated with strong winds are expected each spanning over 2-3 days. Under rainy and windy conditions, pollen concentration in air will fall temporarily. PMD will continue issuing warnings/advisories related to pollen and weather till the end of the season in mid April. The information about pollen concentration in different sectors of Islamabad will be made available on daily basis to the TV channels, Radio and Newspapers. At the same time, it will be regularly uploaded on PMD website: www.pmd.gov.pk.
