Comparison of snowfall in Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture in 2018 and 21
With this heavy snowfall since February 2018, the 6-hour snowfall in Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture, has reached 25 centimeters, and the heavy snowfall has reached a maximum of 32 centimeters in 2018. “Meteorological information on significant heavy snowfall”, recently established by the Meteorological Agency on the basis of 18 years of experience, but the system could not be fully known and large-scale traffic obstacles could not be avoided.
According to the Fukui Local Meteorological Observatory, the snowfall began to increase this time around dawn on January 8, and in the city of Fukui, the amount of snow for 6 hours until 2:00 pm on the 9th was 25 cm . Snow continued to fall on day 10 and a maximum snowfall of 107 cm was observed.
On the other hand, in 2018, it had been snowing for five days, and there was still a lot of snow in mid-January, so the maximum snowfall in Fukui city was 147 cm.
In 2018, the snowfall in Obama City was 19 inches, but this time there was almost no snowfall in the Ryonan region of the prefecture. The two heavy snowfalls were caused by the fact that snow clouds flowed one after the other, focusing on Minekita, due to the “Japan Sea Cold Zone Air Group Convergence Zone” (JPCZ), which is a series of snow clouds that developed like a belt. According to the meteorological observatory, “In 2018, JPCZ moved from north to south, and it snowed in Reinan. This time, JPCZ did not move, and was limited to Reihoku.”
In response to a large-scale stop of a car on National Highway No. 8 in 2018 and a request from Fukui Prefecture, the Meteorological Agency recently established “Weather Information on Significant Heavy Snowfall” as an improvement measure last winter. . If heavy snow is observed in a short time during the heavy snow warning announcement and is expected to continue after that, care should be taken that a large-scale traffic obstacle may occur. It was announced to the city of Ono and the city of Fukui for the first time in the prefecture on the morning of the 8th.
However, many citizens of the prefecture said, “I heard the word ‘significant heavy snow’ for the first time,” and the next day, a large-scale stagnation occurred on the Hokuriku Highway.
Yomura Yo (69) = Tokyo Metropolitan Government, who was the director of the Fukui Local Meteorological Observatory during Fukui heavy rains in 2004 and is familiar with natural disasters, will announce remarkable information about heavy snowfall in case of rain. It is explained as a snow version of “recording information on short-term heavy rains.” He noted: “It does not make sense if the urgency and sense of crisis are not conveyed even though it was created in the wake of heavy snowfall in Fukui. Disaster prevention organizations such as the Meteorological Agency must make it known.” Regarding the repeated damage, he said: “The automobile society has advanced for a long time, and the effects of snow and the severity of the damage are increasing.”
