The weather is going downhill in the Kanto region today, the 12th. Locally heavy rain will fall along the coast, and there will be strong winds in some places. In some places, the peak of rain coincides with the time you return home, so check the latest information and act early.

Be wary of heavy rain and storms

Today, the 12th, the Kanto region will experience locally heavy rain due to the rapidly developing south coast low pressure system.

It’s raining in places this morning, and rain clouds are gradually spreading. By noon, it was raining heavily. Rain will peak in the evening and early evening, with heavy rain accompanied by thunderstorms expected to occur mainly in coastal areas. Snow is likely to fall in the high mountains.

In the afternoon, not only the rain but also the wind will pick up, with very strong winds likely to blow in coastal areas and the Izu Islands. There will be heavy swells in the Kanto region tonight, and there will be heavy swells in some parts of the Izu Islands from early morning until noon tomorrow, the 13th. Please be careful of strong winds and high waves.

Be wary of strong winds and high waves, and be careful of landslides, flooding of low-lying areas, and rising river waters. If the rain clouds develop more than expected, there is a possibility of warning-level heavy rain.

Even in places as cold as midwinter

Due to the rain, the temperature does not rise much during the day.

The maximum temperature will be around 10℃ in many places, and central Tokyo will be at the same level as mid-February. As the wind from the north gradually strengthens, it feels as cold as mid-winter.

In areas near low-pressure areas such as Kanagawa and Chiba prefectures, the wind will be stronger from the south, so the wind will not be cold during the day. However, the wind will gradually shift from the north at night.

Latest information Where to look and what can you find out?

There are other ways to obtain the latest weather information, such as TV and radio, but there are three recommended points to check when checking online.

① Check the rain cloud radar. You can not only see where the rain clouds are developing right now, but also predict where the rain clouds will go after this. You can learn more by zooming in on your area.

② Check the lightning radar. It can be used in the same way as a rain cloud radar. In addition, in areas where lightning is expected, there is an increased possibility of not only lightning strikes but also gusts of wind such as tornadoes, and you should also be careful about hail.

③ Check the advisories and warnings. Depending on the type of advisories and warnings that have been announced, you can find out what kind of phenomena you should be careful of. The precautions also include how long you should be careful and cautious.
