Stagnant front, widespread rain and thunderstorms, heavy rain, fear of heavy snow in Tohoku
Today, the 21st, a front will remain stationary from western Japan to the southern coast of eastern Japan. Atmospheric conditions are unstable as warm, humid air flows towards the front.
Kyushu, Shikoku, and Tokai will experience rain and thunderstorms, with localized heavy rain. Be careful of lightning, tornadoes, strong gusts of wind, and sudden heavy rain. Please be careful of landslides, flooding of low-lying areas, and rising river waters. It will rain intermittently in the Chugoku region, Kinki, Kanto, and Hokuriku. In Ishikawa Prefecture, there are places where the ground has become loose due to the effects of the 2020 Noto Peninsula Earthquake and previous rainfall. Please be careful and be on guard against landslides.
It will snow in the Tohoku region, and there is a risk of heavy snow in the southern regions, not only along the mountains but also on the flatlands. Please be careful and be alert to traffic disruptions caused by heavy snow. In Hokkaido, it will snow mainly on the Sea of Japan side, and there will be some places where there will be blizzards.
On the other hand, Okinawa is expected to have blue skies.
Maximum temperature drops significantly; cold like mid-winter
The maximum temperature from Hokkaido to Hokuriku is around 10℃ lower than yesterday, and it looks like it will be as cold as midwinter. It will be a midwinter day in Sapporo, with a temperature of -3℃. It will likely be shiveringly cold at 2℃ in Sendai City and 4℃ in Niigata City.
Temperatures in the Kanto region, which had been sunny in early summer, plummeted yesterday. The temperature in central Tokyo is 14 degrees Celsius lower than yesterday, which is probably as cold as mid-winter. The daily temperature difference will be large, so please take care of your health.
Temperatures from the Tokai region to Kyushu will also be lower than yesterday, and Nagoya and Osaka will be at 12 degrees Celsius, which is typical of this time of year.
Okinawa is expected to continue having summer days with temperatures reaching 26 degrees Celsius.
What is heavy rain?
Heavy rain refers to rain with an hourly rainfall of more than 30 mm and less than 50 mm. This is an image of rain falling like an overturned bucket. Also, you can get wet even with an umbrella, and about half of the people sleeping inside a wooden house will notice the rain. Outside, roads become like rivers, and cars driving on highways are at risk of “hydroplaning,” a phenomenon in which a film of water forms between the tires and the road surface, making the brakes ineffective.
In areas where heavy rain is expected, be careful of landslides, flooding of low-lying areas, and rising river levels.
