The Japan Meteorological Agency announced the long-term forecast for next month and beyond.
Temperatures are expected to rise nationwide for the next three months, and summer temperatures from June to August are expected to be above or above normal, and the heat is likely to be severe.
According to the long-term forecast announced by the Japan Meteorological Agency on the 21st, the average temperature for the three months from next month will be "high" in northern Japan, eastern Japan, and western Japan, and "almost" in Okinawa and
Amami
. It is expected to be “normal”.
After that, in the summer from June to August, it is expected
that ▽Northern Japan, Eastern Japan, and Western Japan will be "normal or high", and
▽Okinawa/Amami will be "almost normal". It looks like it will.
The Japan Meteorological Agency said that global warming and the La Niña phenomenon, in which the sea surface temperature off the coast of Peru in South America is lower than normal, has caused the high-pressure system in the Pacific Ocean and continents to extend northward, making it easier to be covered by warm air. I think it's because I want to be.
In addition, the amount of precipitation from next month onwards is expected to be "almost normal" nationwide, including during the rainy season.
Takafumi Umeda, director of the Japan Meteorological Agency's Abnormal Weather Information Center, said, "Since high temperatures are expected in the future, I want you to be prepared to take measures against heat stroke."
