Tuesday the 14th: Temperatures in the morning are “on par with December” and “the lowest of the season” Hokkaido is warned of frozen roads due to increased snowfall
November 13, 2023 16:22
On Tuesday the 14th, the effects of strong cold air will remain, and the lowest temperatures in some places will be similar to December. Some places, such as Nagoya and Fukuoka, are hitting new records for this season’s lowest temperatures, so it’s essential to take precautions against the cold. In Hokkaido, snowfall will increase in the morning, especially on the Sea of Japan side, so please be careful of icy roads.
Temperatures on the morning of Tuesday the 14th are “similar to December” and “the lowest of the season” in many locations.
On Monday the 13th, strong cold air flowed into the archipelago for this time of year, with “Kogarashi No. 1” blowing in the Tokyo area, but the effects of the cold air will remain on Tuesday the 14th.
The lowest temperature is expected to be around 7℃ in many places from Kyushu to Kanto. For the first time this season, temperatures in Kagoshima are likely to drop to single digits. The temperature in Fukuoka is 7℃, which is about the same as December. Hiroshima and Nagoya are also likely to be the coldest this season.
The temperature in central Tokyo is expected to be 8℃, but the lowest temperature observed so far this season was 7.9℃ on Monday the 13th, so there is a possibility that this will be updated.
This year, even in November, autumn has not yet deepened, and exactly one week ago, on Tuesday the 7th, the highest temperature in central Tokyo was 27.5℃, the highest temperature for November in 100 years. However, just one week later, the mornings have become much colder.
You need to be careful not to get sick due to changes in temperature.
What are the temperature and clothing guidelines?
There are various types of people, such as those who are sensitive to cold or those who are sensitive to heat, but in general, when the temperature drops below 10 degrees Celsius, winter coats and heaters come into play.
In Kyushu and Kanto, the lowest temperature on Tuesday the 14th is expected to be around 7℃, so you’ll probably want a winter coat in the morning and evening. However, the maximum temperature is around 17 degrees Celsius, so you should be able to spend the daytime just wearing something like a cardigan.
We recommend choosing clothes that you can take off and put on depending on the time of day you go out. It looks like something that can be adjusted with accessories such as a stole.
Snowfall increases mainly in the morning on the Sea of Japan side of Hokkaido
On the other hand, the weather will be sunny over a wide area, mainly on the Pacific side. However, due to the cold air, snow is likely to fall on the Sea of Japan side of Hokkaido on Tuesday the 14th, mainly in the morning.
As of 15:00 on Monday the 13th, the snowfall is 64 cm in Shumarinai, Horokanai Town, Hokkaido, 33 cm in Horokanai, Horokanai Town, and 29 cm in Kutchan Town. There are some places where the snowfall will increase even more, so you need to be careful about icy roads.
Even in areas where you are used to snow, please do not let your guard down and drive more carefully than usual.
Where should I be especially careful about frozen roads?
Road surfaces that are wet from snow or rain can freeze when the temperature drops. In particular, there are four areas where you need to be careful about frozen roads:
(1) On top of bridges and pedestrian bridges, the heat from the ground is difficult to transfer and there is good ventilation, so it is easy to freeze. Especially when it’s blustery, the wind is stronger than other places, visibility is poor, and it’s easy to freeze, so it’s quite dangerous.
(2) The road surface conditions may differ greatly between inside and outside the tunnel. When entering and exiting a tunnel, drive at a sufficiently slow speed to avoid sudden changes to the steering wheel due to the icy road surface.
(3) It is important to slow down sufficiently before approaching intersections and curves. If you press the brake while turning the steering wheel, it will become very slippery. Also, when accelerating, make sure to complete the intersection or curve before stepping on the accelerator.
(4) Once the road surface freezes in the shade, it takes time to completely melt. Please be careful when walking along paths that are likely to be shaded, such as on the north side of buildings.
