“Summer day” in Miyazaki and Nagasaki prefectures, record high temperature for December
Today (15th), a low pressure system accompanied by a front is moving eastward over the Sea of Japan. Warm air is flowing in from the south toward the low pressure system and front, and winds are blowing southward mainly in western Japan. As a result, temperatures have risen in western Japan, and by 1 p.m., the highest temperature was 26.5 degrees Celsius in Hyuga City, Miyazaki Prefecture, 25.8 degrees Celsius in Ibusuki City, Kagoshima Prefecture, and 25.2 degrees Celsius in Shimabara City, Nagasaki Prefecture. It’s been a summer day with temperatures above ℃. This is the first time that the temperature in December has exceeded 25 degrees Celsius at either location since statistics began.
In Miyazaki City, the temperature was 25.6℃, the first time the temperature in mid-December has exceeded 25℃ since statistics began.
In addition, although the temperature did not reach summer days, it was 23.8℃ in Ume, Saeki City, Oita Prefecture, and Minami Town, Tokushima Prefecture, 23.6℃ in Soeda Town, Fukuoka Prefecture, 23.3℃ in Matsue City, 22.4℃ in Sakaiminato City, Tottori Prefecture, and Yusuhara, Kochi Prefecture.

17th (Sunday) Temperature is in single digits even during the day
Starting tomorrow, the 16th (Saturday), the area around Japan will experience a winter-like atmospheric pressure pattern, and strong cold air is expected to flow in. The highest temperature tomorrow, Saturday the 16th, is expected to be around 0℃ in Hokkaido and around 15℃ from Tohoku to Kyushu. Although many places are higher than normal, in Kyushu, where today was the warmest day on record, there are places where the temperature is more than 10 degrees Celsius, so the temperature difference is likely to be large.
Furthermore, on the 17th (Sunday), daytime temperatures are expected to fall below 10℃ from Tohoku to Kyushu. It will be so cold that you will need a thick coat all day long. It’s going to be mid-winter cold all of a sudden, so please take good care of your health.
