Tomorrow, the 7th, the sun will shine in the Kanto region, which still has some snow, and the cold will ease during the day. However, the temperature drops to nearly 0 degrees Celsius in the morning, and freezing continues, so be careful not to slip or fall. On the Sea of ​​Japan side, there is rain and snow in Hokuriku and other areas. During the three-day weekend starting on the 10th, there will be days with locally heavy rain and snow. Temperatures rise from the latter half of the three-day weekend, reaching March levels in many places.

Tomorrow, the 7th, it will be sunny on the Pacific side, but roads will remain frozen in the Kanto region.

Tomorrow, the 7th (Wednesday), the area around Japan will experience a winter-like atmospheric pressure pattern.

There are many clouds on the Sea of ​​Japan side, and rain and snow are expected in places. In particular, Hokuriku will experience intermittent rain and snow, and in some places it is likely to be accompanied by thunder. Even in earthquake-affected areas, please be careful of sudden heavy rain.

The sun will shine over a wide area on the Pacific side. It looks like the sunshine will return to the Kanto region, where snow still remains. Today, on the 6th, the maximum temperature in central Tokyo was 5.4℃, making it the coldest day this winter. Also, as of 5 p.m., snowfall was expected to be 4 centimeters. It will become extremely cold into the morning of tomorrow, the 7th, so in areas where there is still snow, it is necessary to continue to be careful of frozen roads. The snow conditions on the sidewalks are expected to get even worse, so please allow plenty of time.

Tomorrow’s maximum temperature will be slightly lower in Kyushu than today, but in many places from Chugoku and Shikoku to the Tokai and Hokuriku regions it will be about the same as today, and in many places from Kanto to the north it will be higher than today. Although there are many places in the Kanto region where the temperature is below 10 degrees Celsius, the cold will ease and the sunshine will make you feel relieved.

Snow will remain throughout the Kanto region tomorrow morning, the 7th.Where should we be especially careful?

If you are not used to snow, there are four areas you should be especially careful about when walking on snowy roads.

The first is on a pedestrian bridge or a bridge. Since it is not in contact with the ground, it is difficult for heat from the ground to transfer to it, and it is difficult to melt even if it freezes.
The second is where you can get on and off buses and taxis. When the snow is compacted by people getting on and off or by car tires, it becomes slippery.
The third is a crosswalk. Not only does the snow become more easily trampled by the large number of people and cars passing by; In particular, it is difficult for water to seep into the white line area, making it easy for a thin film of ice to form.
The fourth type is the entrance to the basement or the entrance to the building. Snow that stuck to the soles of your shoes may remain near the entrance. Going underground is even more dangerous because there are steps.

In the Kanto region, which has experienced heavy snow for the first time in a long time, there have been a number of falling accidents from yesterday 5th to today 6th. When walking on snowy roads, please be especially careful in these areas.

The rain and snow will increase in some places during the three-day weekend, and from the second half of the holiday it will be similar to March.

From the day after tomorrow, the 8th (Thursday) to the 9th (Friday), there will be a weak winter-like atmospheric pressure pattern. There are a lot of clouds on the Sea of ​​Japan side, and it looks like snow will continue mainly in Hokkaido. Hokuriku will also experience intermittent rain and snow.
A low pressure system is expected to pass through the Sea of ​​Japan on Saturday the 10th, the first day of the three-day holiday. Snow and rain will fall mainly from Hokuriku to the northern Sea of ​​Japan side. From the 11th (Sunday) to the 12th (Monday), it will be sunny in many places, but as a pressure trough approaches from the Sea of ​​Japan, there will be temporary rain and snow, and the rain will be stronger on the Sea of ​​Japan side. It is expected that there will be. There will be places where it will rain from Kyushu to the Pacific Ocean side of the Tokai region. The rain only lasts for a short time, but it’s a good idea to have an umbrella with you when you go out.

Across the country, temperatures are on the rise from the second half of this week. During the three-day weekend, there will be many places where the maximum temperature will be similar to March.
In particular, from the 12th (Monday) onwards, it is expected that a low-pressure system will form in the southeast, with high pressure in the south and low pressure in the north, with warm air flowing in from the south. On the 13th (Tuesday), temperatures are expected to rise in various places, with maximum temperatures exceeding 15℃ in Kyushu, Chugoku, and Shikoku, and approaching 15℃ in the Kinki and Kanto regions. Hokuriku, Tohoku, and Hokkaido will also experience early spring temperatures, so in areas with a lot of snow, please be careful of disasters and avalanches caused by melting snow.

Also, the season when pollen starts to disperse in earnest is approaching. As temperatures rise later this week, conditions will be favorable for pollen to be dispersed over a wide area. If you suffer from hay fever, it is best to take preventive measures such as having your doctor prescribe medicine as soon as possible.
