So this morning, we finally got a letter from western Japan about the first snowfall.
The first snowfall was observed in Shimozeki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, six days later than usual, and the first snowfall of this season was observed at the meteorological office in western Japan.
News of East Japan’s First Snow One After Another
In addition, we received news of the first snowfall from the East Japan Meteorological Office one after another.
In Hokuriku, the first snowfall was observed in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture, 23 days later than normal, and in Toyama City, Toyama Prefecture, 14 days later than normal.
Furthermore, in Kofu City, Yamanashi Prefecture, the first snowfall is observed four days later than usual.
For the first large-scale snowfall of this season in northern Japan
On the other hand, it is already the first large-scale snowfall of this season in some parts of northern Japan.
In Kuji City, Iwate Prefecture, the snowfall became heaviest towards dawn and the depth of the snowfall was 23 cm, which was the highest in December (1991 and Thailand No. 1).
Furthermore, the deepest snowfall at noon on the 14th is 22 cm in Asahikawa city, 11 cm in Aomori city, 10 cm in Akita city, 5 cm in Morioka city and 3 cm in the city by Yamagata.
On the afternoon of the 14th, the area where it snows extends further around the side of the Sea of Japan.
After this, the winter-type pressure distribution will be further strengthened and the cold air intake is expected to strengthen.
On the afternoon of the 14th, the snow and rain clouds will apply intermittently mainly on the side of the Sea of Japan from Hokkaido to Kyushu. Snowfall is expected to increase further on the Sea of Japan side of Hokkaido and Tohoku. The wind is getting stronger and there are probably some places.
Also, in the Hokuriku to Sanin area, even if it is raining now, the range of snow is likely to gradually expand.
Since there are many places where it will snow for the first time this season, refrain from driving a car that has not been replaced with winter tires and avoid driving sudden braking or steering even with winter tires. Please be careful enough.
