This winter is expected to be a warm winter nationwide JMA long-term forecast September 25, 18:08
According to a long-term forecast from the Japan Meteorological Agency, this winter is expected to have a warm winter trend because the cold is weak in the south and the average temperature is expected to be as high as normal throughout the country.
According to the weather forecast from December to February next year announced by the Japan Meteorological Agency, this winter is expected that the western winds will flow north from the normal, and the south of the cold is expected to be weak nationwide.
For this reason, the average winter temperature is expected to be “normal or high” nationwide, with a warm winter trend.
In addition, winter-type atmospheric pressure arrangements are unlikely to last long, and the amount of snowfall on the Sea of Japan side from northern Japan to western Japan is expected to be “ordinary or low on average”.
Motoaki Takekawa, forecaster of the Japan Meteorological Agency's Climate Information Division, says, “While a warm winter trend is expected, it is difficult to forecast a temporary cold air flow at this time, so please always check the latest forecast.”
