We recommend viewing the autumn leaves on the 14th (Saturday). Cold rain on the 15th (Sunday)
This Saturday and Sunday, the weather and temperature in the Tohoku region will change dramatically.
On the 14th (Saturday), the weather was covered in a migratory high pressure system, resulting in a mild autumn sky. It’s going to be a great day for sightseeing.
The minimum temperature is expected to drop to around 10℃ in most places, at or below normal. Please stay warm and have a good night’s sleep tonight.
The maximum temperature will be around 23 degrees Celsius, which is about average or higher than usual, so it will be a pleasant and sunny day for anything.
There is a big difference in temperature between morning and evening and daytime, so wear clothes that are easy to put on and take off.
On the 15th (Sunday), a low-pressure system with cold air is expected to develop and move northward off the coast of Sanriku, causing heavy rain to fall as far as the Sanriku coast.
It has been raining since the morning in the southern Tohoku region, and the peak of the rain will be during the day.
Rain is expected to start falling in the northern Tohoku region around noon, with the peak rain expected at night.
Temperatures do not rise as high as in the southern Tohoku region, where rain starts early, and are around 15 degrees Celsius during the day. Even during the day, you may want to wear a jacket or light coat over your long sleeves.
At night, the wind will pick up and the air will become even colder.
15th (Sun) Heavy rain along the Sanriku coast. Be careful of strong winds, high waves, and high tides.
This is the predicted precipitation amount for 24 hours on the 15th (Sunday).
The Pacific coast will take on a yellow-green color, indicating heavy rainfall, with rainfall expected to reach 50 to 80 mm.
The amount of rainfall will vary depending on the degree of development and course of the cyclone, but the rain will be heavier along the Sanriku coast.
The wind will be strong, especially over the sea, and there will be some places where it will rain in a torrential manner.
Along the Sanriku coast, you’ll likely need a large sturdy umbrella and rain boots.
Additionally, on the Pacific side, high waves of up to 3 meters with swells are expected on the 15th (Sunday).
Coinciding with the spring tide season, the tide level rises, and there is a risk of flooding and flooding in low-lying areas of the coastline, especially along the coast of Fukushima Prefecture, where the effects of the Great East Japan Earthquake remain. Avoid going near coasts and river mouths.
