A low-pressure system will approach Hokkaido from the 22nd (Monday) to the 23rd (Tuesday), and then from the 25th (Thursday), a winter-like atmospheric pressure pattern will occur and strong cold air will flow in. There is a risk of snowfall and strong winds. From the 22nd to the 23rd, there will be wet snow in southern Hokkaido, and heavy snow in eastern Hokkaido. After that, the center of the snow will change, and the amount of snow is expected to increase in central Hokkaido.
Tomorrow, the 21st (Sunday), the atmospheric pressure will gradually enter a trough, and there is a risk of flooding in southern Hokkaido.
Tomorrow, the 21st (Sunday), will initially be within the area of high pressure, but the area around Hokkaido will gradually enter a trough of atmospheric pressure. As a result, snow is expected to fall more frequently in the southwest, especially in the afternoon. There is a risk of wet snow around the Oshima Peninsula, and strong easterly winds that could cause it to blow. It is likely that we will need to be careful about power outages due to snow and poor visibility due to blowing snow. It seems better to go out in the morning than in the afternoon.
The day after tomorrow (22nd), a low pressure system approaches.The amount of snow will increase on the Pacific side as well.
The day after tomorrow, the 22nd (Monday), a low pressure system will form in the Sea of Japan and will pass near Hokkaido into the morning of the 24th (Wednesday). As a result, the weather is expected to deteriorate mainly on the Pacific Ocean side until the 23rd (Tuesday), and there is a risk that the snow will become heavier and the amount of snow will increase in areas such as Tokachi. Many areas, such as the Tokachi, Kushiro, and Nemuro regions, have less snow than normal years, but there is a risk that the amount of snow will suddenly increase with the snowfall from the 22nd to the 23rd. Please be careful of sudden heavy snow. In case of sudden heavy snowfall, it is a good idea to prepare a thick jacket, warmer, flashlight, tow rope, shovel, etc. when driving.
After the 24th, winter-like atmospheric pressure patterns will become stronger, and there is a risk of increased snowfall even around Sapporo.
After the low pressure passes, on the afternoon of the 24th (Wednesday), a winter-like pressure pattern will become stronger around Hokkaido, and strong cold air will flow into the upper atmosphere. The wind will be from the north, and there is a risk of heavy snowfall mainly in central Hokkaido, including Sapporo. As of the 20th, the snowfall in Sapporo is about 1.2 times the normal level, but there is a risk that this will increase further. Please pay attention to the latest weather information. In addition, the wind is likely to become stronger, especially on the Sea of Japan side, so caution should be taken regarding poor visibility. The weather is expected to improve around the 26th (Friday).
In the unlikely event that your car becomes stranded, you will need to turn off the engine and remove snow frequently to prevent the area around the muffler from becoming covered in snow.
