Next week, cold weather will be severe across the country.

Today’s high temperature (9th) has increased in many places in line with normal years. During the weekend, temperatures will remain normal or higher than normal across the country.
It is at the beginning of the week when the cold arrives like in the middle of winter. Cold air flows into the vicinity of Japan, and eastern and western Japan are expected to be covered in cold air below -6 degrees Celsius about 1500 meters above the ground, which is a guideline for snow even on flat ground.
Looking at the changes in the expected maximum temperature in each region, the temperature will drop sharply after Monday. The expected maximum temperature in Fukuoka is 15 degrees on the 13th (Sunday), but it will be 6 degrees on the 14th (Monday) and it will be cold at the same time. In Sapporo, the maximum temperature on the 14th (Monday) is expected to be minus 2 degrees Celsius and, for the first time this season, the maximum temperature is expected to be below 0 degrees Celsius on a “midwinter day.” . In Tokyo, it will not reach 10 degrees during the day next week, and the minimum temperature will be 1 degree on Wednesday 16, which will be freezing.
