  1. IAC represents the relative proportion of the incidence of allergic conjunctivitis; AP Air pressure, AT Air temperature, RH Relative humidity, V Visibility, PR Precipitation, WS Wind speed, WD Wind direction; WS1 and WS2 represent wind speed in the height of 2 m and 10 m, respectively. The data of each province is averaged by the cities with valid data of IAC.
