2026/04/28 06:25

The low pressure system that brought rain to western and eastern Japan today, the 28th (Tuesday) and yesterday, the 27th, will move away. Meanwhile, another low pressure system will move through the Sea of Japan.

Eastern Japan is widely covered by high pressure, and the Kanto and Tokai regions are likely to see some places where the sun will reach them, causing temperatures to rise significantly compared to the previous day. The expected maximum temperature in Tokyo is 24c, and in Nagoya it will be 25c, and it will be a summer day in some places.

Meanwhile, a low pressure system moves across the Sea of Japan. From the afternoon onwards, the weather will turn downhill and rain will begin in Tohoku and Hokuriku. When going out, it's a good idea to take an umbrella with you even if it's not raining. In the Tohoku region, there is a possibility of localized thunderstorms with heavy rainfall over a short period of time, so please be careful of sudden changes in the weather. There are many clouds in Hokkaido, and there are likely to be places where the temperature will drop significantly compared to yesterday.

Clouds will gradually spread over western Japan, and there are likely to be localized showers in the evening. Even if there is no umbrella symbol in the weather forecast, it is a good idea to carry a foldable umbrella in case you will be returning home late.

2026/04/25 07:04

Some people may start Golden Week from today, the 25th (Saturday). The weather in the future will be cyclical, with sunny days alternating with rainy days.

The low pressure system will move along the southern coast of Honshu, and the area of rain will spread to the Pacific side of eastern Japan until the beginning of the week, the 27th (Monday).

On the 28th (Tuesday), many places in western and eastern Japan will be covered in high pressure and it will be sunny. In northern Japan, the weather is likely to deteriorate and bring rain in some places due to the effects of the low pressure system. In areas where the shaking was strong due to the Sanriku-oki Earthquake, there are places where the ground is loose and the risk of landslides may increase rapidly even with a small amount of rain, so please be careful.

On the 29th (Wednesday) Showa Day, a frontal low pressure system is expected to approach from the west. The low-pressure system is expected to develop and move along the southern coast of Honshu, and the rain and winds will become stronger around the 30th, mainly on the Pacific side of western and eastern Japan.

There is currently a wide range of forecasts regarding the timing, extent, and strength of rain, and there is uncertainty. When going out during the holidays, please be sure to check the latest weather information.

One-month forecast: The extreme heat will subside for a while, with many cloudy and rainy days expected during Golden Week

2026/04/24 21:36

On the 23rd (Thursday), the Japan Meteorological Agency announced the latest one-month forecast, which shows the weather outlook for the next month.



According to the forecast results of the forecast model, there is an anticyclone to the east of Japan, and the area of high pressure is expected to extend to the vicinity of Japan. Northern Japan will likely be covered by high pressure. In addition, a weak pressure trough is expected in the south of Japan, and it is expected that moist air will easily enter the Pacific side of western and eastern Japan. The temperature at an altitude of approximately 1,500 meters will be higher than normal nationwide, and it will likely be covered by warm air.



The average temperature for the next month will tend to be higher than normal nationwide across the country. However, from the end of April to the beginning of May, the probability that the average temperature will be around normal and the probability that it will be higher than normal are about the same, and the chances of extreme heat or cold are low. During Golden Week, the temperature is likely to be relatively comfortable.
From mid-May onwards, it will become hotter nationwide, so it will be essential to take precautions against heatstroke, such as staying hydrated and taking adequate breaks.



The weather will change every few days. Precipitation for the month is expected to be at normal levels nationwide, but western and eastern Japan is likely to experience many cloudy and rainy days, especially on the Pacific coast. During the Golden Week period, low pressure systems and fronts often pass from the west, and around the 30th, a developed low pressure system may approach and bring widespread rain to the Pacific side of western and eastern Japan. Also, rain is likely to increase in many places for the next 3 to 4 days due to the effects of low pressure and fronts.

Currently, forecasts vary widely, and there is great uncertainty regarding the timing, extent, and strength of rain, but please be sure to check the latest weather information before going out.
