Passing by the White Causeway of West Lake,
I also saw annoying catkins. From time to time, there is a burst of "flying snow", which attracts pedestrians to cover their mouths and noses.

Many netizens said,
Through the screen, I feel uncomfortable.
Why are there so many catkins by the West Lake?
The willow trees by the West Lake are being rejuvenated
Can not hit catkins inhibition drugs
Why are there still so many catkins by the West Lake? This afternoon (10 April), the Hangzhou Municipal Landscaping Development Center gave a special explanation and report on this matter.
In view of the situation that the catkins in the West Lake Scenic Area are flying like snow, the relevant staff of the catkins suppression project explained that because the willow trees by the West Lake are undergoing a rejuvenation project, they cannot use catkins inhibition drugs. I didn't fight last year, so this year I will see a lot of catkins. "I have been injected with catkins inhibitors before, but this inhibition has to be played every year, and the inhibition effect will be much worse if it is not injected for a year. ”
He Jiawei, a staff member of Hangzhou Landscaping Development Center, said that the follow-up treatment of the West Lake catkins depends on the effect of the willow tree rejuvenation project. "If the follow-up willow trees are still relatively delicate, the willow tree rejuvenation is still a priority, and the catkins suppression work is postponed. ”
At present, Hangzhou has completed the suppression of more than 65,000 female catkins, and it is expected that 1,000 to 2,000 new trees will be added this year.

Hangzhou Meteorological Department
Recently launched the "Flying Flom Index Forecast"
The fly catkins in Hangzhou mainly include catkins and French sycamore catkins, among which catkins originate from willow flowers, and sycamore catkins originate from the fruit of sycamores, so the production of catkins is more related to the growth process of the willow tree itself, but the sycamore catkins are more related to weather conditions. At present, the willow trees in Hangzhou have entered the flowering period, and the white catkins are mainly flying in the air.
Especially in the past two days, Hangzhou has turned mainly cloudy or sunny, and the temperature has risen sharply, and the maximum temperature in the main urban area during the day can reach 23-26 °C. This kind of meteorological conditions with high temperature, strong sunshine and low humidity are very conducive to the catkins flying and the sycamore cones exploding, and the yellow-brown sycamore flying flakes will also drift away with the wind.
To this end, the Hangzhou Meteorological Department recently launched a flying floc index forecast. For example, today, the Hangzhou floc index is level 2, which is a meteorological condition with moderate flocculence. In the next few days, there will be many showers and thunderstorms in Zhejiang. There is also rain in Hangzhou from time to time, and the main rainfall process will be from tomorrow afternoon to night and from the night of the 13th to the 14th. Especially from the night of the 13th to the 14th, there will be a significant thundershower process. At this time of the year, the rain will stop falling. With the blessing of rain, it can always inhibit some flying flakes and release themselves.
In the face of annoying fluttering, how to protect it?
The catkins are as white as snow,
It seems romantic, but it's actually dangerous-
It is mixed with a lot of pollen, dust and even germs, and after being inhaled into the nasal cavity, it may cause reactions such as runny nose, cough and asthma, and may also have allergic reactions to the skin, such as itchy skin and red conjunctiva.
Put away the following five-word formula,
Helping you protect yourself from the nuisance "April snow"
▶ Hide: Try to avoid the high incidence of poplar catkins flying from 10 a.m. to 16 p.m. for outdoor activities, and choose a time when the flotsam is lighter in the morning, evening or after rain.
▶ Cover: You can wear disposable dust masks, sunglasses, protective goggles, gauze towels, etc. when you go out to effectively physically block the flying flotsam.
▶ Sweeping: Pay attention to closing the screen window at home to avoid flying into the room; if there is flying flotsam floating in, you can use a vacuum cleaner to clean it in time, or spray water to moisten it and clean it.
▶ Prevention: Fly floc is easy to ignite, do not litter cigarette butts outdoors, and clean up in time if you find that fly floc accumulates to prevent fire.
▶ Clean: After going out and returning home, wash your face with water in time, and clean your nasal cavity and mouth with normal saline.
