Around the 14th (Monday), the strongest cold air this season will flow into the sky near Japan, causing it to snow across a large area of ​​the Tohoku region. Especially in the northern part and the Sea of ​​Japan side, the snowfall becomes stronger and there is a risk of heavy snowfall. There are many places where it snows even on the southern side of the Pacific. There is the possibility of observing the first snowfall in Sendai. (* The average value of the first snowfall in Sendai is on November 24)
Furthermore, the wind is expected to intensify mainly in coastal areas, and snowstorms are likely. Be prepared for the snow before Saturday the 12th, like checking snow removal equipment and shopping for groceries. Also, in the south, some people may not have changed the tires on their cars yet. Snow is very likely even on flat ground, so be sure to replace it with winter tires as soon as possible.

Next week will be a “midwinter’s day” due to the severe cold even during the day.

The temperature in the future will be approximately equal to normal or high until around 13 (sun), and during the day, it will exceed 10 degrees Celsius in the south. However, after 14 (Monday), it is expected to be lower than normal in several places, and there is a possibility that it will be a “midwinter day” when the maximum temperature does not reach 0 degrees, mainly in the north.
Next week, it will be as cold as the dead of winter, and the warmest coats and down jackets in the house are likely to come into play.
