Today, the 15th (Monday), the snow and wind are increasing mainly in the Sea of Japan side of northern Japan and Hokuriku. The weather will continue to be rough in northern Japan and Hokuriku into tomorrow, the 16th (Tuesday). It is necessary to be wary of the effects of heavy blizzard and snowdrifts on transportation, as well as strong winds and high waves. There are also places in the northern Kanto region and Nagano Prefecture that experience heavy snow, especially along the mountains. Please be careful of snow, icy roads, and avalanches.
Tomorrow, the 16th (Tuesday), the Sea of Japan side of northern Japan and Hokuriku are on alert for heavy snow and strong winds.
A winter-like atmospheric pressure pattern will become stronger tomorrow, the 16th (Tuesday), and strong cold air will flow into the sky. As the atmosphere continues to be unstable, it is likely that snow will fall even more heavily. The amount of snowfall is increasing mainly along the mountains, with more than 80 cm of snow falling in 24 hours in many places along the mountains of northern Kanto and Shinetsu.
In addition, along with the snow, extremely strong winds will blow, with winds reaching over 30 meters in some places. The waves are likely to be high at sea.
Please be aware of the effects of snow accumulation and icy roads on transportation, and be careful of snow accumulation and avalanches. Houses damaged in the Noto Peninsula Earthquake need to be careful about collapse due to the weight of snow.
Sunshine reaches the Pacific Ocean side, but temperatures drop and snow clouds roll in in some areas.
Due to strong cold air and strong cold winds blowing from the north or west, the daytime will be colder than today, the 15th (Monday). In many places in Hokkaido and northern Tohoku, it will be midwinter (maximum temperature below 0℃). Southern Tohoku and Hokuriku are also freezing cold, with the highest temperature expected to be around 2℃. The temperature in Kanazawa will be about 9℃ lower than today. I believe that there are still many places in the disaster-stricken areas that do not have adequate heating, but please be careful about hypothermia and call out to your family and those around you to see if they are feeling unwell. Take measures such as keeping warm as much as possible and moving your body regularly.
Although sunlight reaches a wide area from Kanto to Kyushu, the cold wind makes it feel even colder. Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka will be bitterly cold, with temperatures around 7 degrees Celsius during the day. Dry air conditions will continue. Please take care not to get sick by washing your hands, gargling, and wearing warm clothes.
Risks associated with wind, heavy snow, and low temperatures
There are risks such as the following due to wind, heavy snow, and low temperatures.
(1) Power outage
There is a risk of power outages due to power lines being cut due to the weight of fallen trees and snow.
It’s a good idea to prepare a flashlight, warm clothing, and a blanket.
It is also a good idea to prepare a mobile battery to ensure a power source.
(2) Water channels freeze
Drain the water from the water pipes beforehand. Also, keep water pipes and meters that are exposed outdoors by wrapping them tightly with special tape using heat insulating material such as Styrofoam.
(3) Product shortage
This may occur due to logistics delays due to transportation network paralysis.
It’s a good idea to buy plenty of groceries and fuel for heating in advance.
