Saturday Weather Overview, Temperature Trends, and Typhoon

The autumn rain front is expected to make its strongest impact, with the entire archipelago anticipating rain. Additionally, a strengthening cold air mass will cause temperatures to drop. It's important to note that Tokyo's forecasted high of 24 degrees Celsius was observed shortly after midnight. By 4 AM, temperatures will have fallen below 22 degrees, and will rapidly decrease from around 9 AM as the rain intensifies. By 2 PM, the peak temperature time, it will drop below 20 degrees, and then rapidly fall to an overnight low of 18 degrees Celsius. Be sure to bring a jacket so you're not fooled by the forecast temperatures. Be aware of the rain's impact, as heavy rainfall is expected from Kitakyushu to Shikoku, and from Tokai to Kanto. The autumn rain front is gradually moving towards the Pacific, and while it won't rain from night into Sunday, the clouds will persist. Typhoon No. 26 is currently heading towards the Sakishima Islands at 1000hPa and is almost certain to move northeast along the southern coast of Naha. It is currently classified as weak with no strength category, but it is expected to strengthen into a powerful typhoon with a storm surge and head towards the mainland. Depending on the influence of the autumn rain front, there is a high probability of heavy rain hitting the islands, so please keep an eye on the typhoon's movements from tomorrow onwards.
