Due to the intensification of the winter-type atmospheric pressure distribution, from next Tuesday, the 24th, the strongest cold air of this winter will flow in, and the temperature will be lower than normal in a wide area from northern Japan to western Japan, and there is a risk of heavy snow.
Please pay attention to future information and prepare for snow and low temperatures early.
According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, due to the cold weather on the 21st, the maximum temperature was minus 2.8 degrees in Sapporo, 4.6 degrees in Sendai, 8.2 degrees in Hiroshima, 8.3 degrees in Osaka, and 9 degrees in central Tokyo. It's been 3 to 4 degrees lower than the 20th.
On the other hand, from Tuesday the 24th to Thursday the 26th next week, the winter-type pressure pattern is expected to intensify, and the strongest cold air of this winter is expected to flow over Japan.
As a result, heavy snowfall and stormy weather will occur mainly from northern Japan to the Sea of Japan side of western Japan, and warning-level heavy snowfall and blizzards are possible in a wide area on the Pacific side, including Kyushu, Shikoku, and the Tokai.
Temperatures will drop considerably, with the lowest temperatures expected to fall below freezing in various parts of eastern and western Japan. Heavy snowfall and frozen road surfaces will affect traffic in various parts of the country, and there is also the risk of water pipes freezing.
In addition, the ocean is expected to become a storm centered on the Sea of Japan side of northern Japan and western Japan, as well as Okinawa Prefecture, and some areas will become even more severe.
Please pay attention to future information and prepare for snow and low temperatures early.
