Weekend Weather Overview

The autumn rain front will shift slightly northward, losing its influence. Kanto is expected to see clear skies for the first time in several days, with temperatures predicted to reach 30 degrees Celsius. If you plan to dry laundry outdoors, today is the day to do it. Looking at the two-week forecast, the next sunny day is scheduled for Monday, two weeks from now. While the temperature will rise due to strong southerly winds, the wind is expected to keep the perceived temperature from feeling excessively hot. On the other hand, as the front moves north, Hokushinetsu and Tohoku regions need to be wary of rain. Strong westerly winds are likely to bring intermittent rain clouds to these areas. The Japan Meteorological Agency has forecast heavy rainfall, potentially reaching warning levels, so extreme caution is advised regarding inland flooding, rising river levels, and landslides. The short-term forecast indicates that Kanto's clear weather will only last for today. Tomorrow, due to the rapid southward shift of the front and the continued southerly winds, strong rain is anticipated along the Pacific coast. With the possibility of sudden showers predicted for the evening, it's best to make the most of the precious daylight hours. The long-term outlook suggests a generally cloudy and rainy period for the next two weeks.
