新西兰的雨季与拉尼娜现象相关,缩短了花粉季节,缓解了过敏,但气候变化可能扭转这一趋势。 A wetter summer in New Zealand, linked to La Niña, shortened pollen seasons and eased allergies, but climate change may reverse this trend.

根据维多利亚大学惠灵顿研究,新西兰部分地区的雨季,可能是由于中性或拉尼娜气候模式造成的,可能会降低花粉水平和减轻过敏。 A wetter summer in parts of New Zealand, possibly due to a neutral or La Niña climate pattern, may reduce pollen levels and ease allergies, according to Victoria University of Wellington research. 降雨抑制了花粉的释放并从空气中清除,缩短了花粉季节,而干旱的厄尔尼诺夏季则扩大了花粉的暴露。 Rainfall suppresses pollen release and clears it from the air, shortening pollen seasons compared to dry El Niño summers, which extend pollen exposure. 数据显示,在最近一个厄尔尼诺年中,有77天的草花粉季节,而拉尼娜年则有41天。 Data shows a 77-day grass pollen season during a recent El Niño year versus 41 days in a La Niña year. 奥克兰正在进行的花粉监测旨在利用厄尔尼诺/南方涛动预测改进预测,帮助患者做好准备。 Ongoing pollen monitoring in Auckland aims to improve forecasts using ENSO predictions, helping sufferers prepare. 然而,长期气候趋势表明,今后更温暖、更干燥的条件可能会增加花粉的含量,这突出表明需要继续进行监测。 However, long-term climate trends suggest warmer, drier conditions could increase pollen levels in the future, highlighting the need for continued monitoring.
