Bad weather from Hokuriku heading north on the 30th Watch out for snow storms in the early afternoon (Jan 30, 2021) – Japan Meteorological Association tenki.jp

This morning, a low pressure system is passing through Hokkaido, and a high pressure system is coming from the mainland. From Hokkaido to Tohoku and Hokuriku, the intervals between isobars are narrow and the wind conditions continue. In the southwestern part of Hokkaido, the wind speed is around 25 meters, and there are places where the wind is so strong that you cannot stand up unless you catch something. The snow continues and the flat land on the northeast Pacific side is also covered in snow. There are also active snow clouds along the mountains from northeast Kanto to north Nagano prefecture. In Fujiwara, Minakami City, Gunma Prefecture, there is a place where the amount of snow has suddenly increased, like the new accumulation of about 40 cm of snow last night.

Today it snows intermittently in Hokkaido, Tohoku and Hokuriku. The wind is strong and it will be fluffy. In particular, around 3:00 pm, very strong winds are blowing around the coast, and there seem to be places where driving a car becomes dangerous due to a blizzard. I’d like to refrain from going out as much as possible today, but if I have to drive a car to work, etc., I have to fill up the fuel and use a shovel, boots, hot items, emergency food, etc. ready for. The impact on public transport such as trains may be even greater, so it would be good to check the information carefully.
The snow has increased rapidly since last night, and it snows and stops along the mountains in northeast Kanto and northern Nagano, and there is a risk of heavy snowfall even at night.
Also, although the sun shines over a wide area in other areas, it snows in places around the morning on the plains of the Tokai region, northern Kinki, and Sanin, including the area around Nagoya. Be careful of freezing the road surface.
