2026/11/02 21:08

Here is the weather forecast for the coming week. Tomorrow, the 3rd (Tuesday, Culture Day), will be mostly sunny in many areas. Around the 5th (Thursday), the passage of a low-pressure system is expected to bring rain to a wide area.
Following the passage of this system, a "west-high, east-low" pressure pattern will develop, likely leading to rainy conditions along the Sea of ??Japan coast.
Due to the influence of Typhoon No. 31, the Ogasawara Islands may experience high waves and strong winds-potentially reaching warning levels-from the 4th (Wednesday) onwards. Please check for the latest weather information.



Tomorrow, the 3rd (Tuesday, Culture Day), the area around Honshu is expected to be under the influence of a high-pressure system. While some rain may fall along the Sea of ??Japan coast during the morning, conditions will gradually improve. From the Tohoku region down to Okinawa, many areas will see sunshine, making it a great day for outings.
Meanwhile, Hokkaido will be under a trough of low pressure, with rain or snow expected in some places, particularly along the Sea of ??Japan coast.
Temperatures will generally be around or above the seasonal average.

On Wednesday the 4th, while high pressure will continue to cover the area around Honshu, conditions will be prone to rain in Hokkaido and the region stretching from Kanto to Tokai.

On Thursday the 5th, a low-pressure system accompanied by a front is expected to pass near Japan, bringing rain to a wide area from Hokkaido to Kyushu. Warm, moist air flowing in from Typhoon No. 31 may lead to heavy rainfall, particularly along the Pacific coast. Please stay tuned for further updates.

The powerful Typhoon No. 31 is currently moving west-northwest in the waters near the Ogasawara Islands and is expected to make its closest approach to the archipelago around Thursday the 5th. There is a risk of warning-level high waves and violent winds, as well as the potential for intensifying rainfall. Please check for the latest information regarding the typhoon.

From Friday the 6th to Saturday the 7th, the low-pressure system will move away to the east of Japan, and a "west-high, east-low" pressure pattern-characterized by higher pressure to the west and lower pressure to the east-is expected to develop. With a low-pressure system projected to move toward the vicinity of Sakhalin, widespread rain or snow is expected in Hokkaido, while rain is likely along the Sea of ??Japan side of the Tohoku region and in the Hokuriku region.

From Sunday the 8th to Monday the 9th, another low-pressure system will pass near Japan, followed once again by a "west-high, east-low" pressure pattern. Snow is expected in Hokkaido-primarily along the Sea of ??Japan coast-while the Sea of ??Japan side of the Tohoku region and the Hokuriku region will likely continue to see periods of rain.


Over the coming week, temperatures are expected to rise around Thursday the 5th and Friday the 6th, before dropping significantly from Saturday the 7th onward due to the arrival of cold air. In Hokkaido, daily highs are forecast to fall into the single digits (Celsius), with lows dropping to around 0C-a notably chilly outlook. It would be wise to prepare warm clothing and cold-weather gear.
In Tokyo, too, daily lows may dip into the single digits by the weekend, making it necessary to have heavy jackets or coats on hand. It looks to be a week where the progression of the seasons will truly be felt.

Powerful Typhoon 31 moves westward near the Ogasawara Islands; rain possible in the Kanto region between the 4th and 5th.

What is "Culture Day" (November 3rd)?
Established in 1948, this national holiday is dedicated to "loving freedom and peace, and promoting culture." It commemorates the promulgation of the Constitution of Japan on November 3, 1946, and is also the day when the "Order of Culture"?an honor bestowed upon individuals who have made significant contributions to the advancement of culture, such as in the arts or sciences?is presented. In celebration of this day, many museums and art galleries across the country offer free admission or host special exhibitions, providing numerous opportunities to engage with culture.

Weather Forecast for November 3rd (Culture Day)
Tomorrow, a high-pressure system is expected to cover the area around Honshu. As a result, the Pacific-facing regions?from Western Japan through Eastern Japan?will generally be clear. With daytime highs hovering around 20C, the weather should be pleasant. Meanwhile, along the Sea of ??Japan side?stretching from the Hokuriku region to the Tohoku region?some areas may experience rain during the morning; it would be wise to carry a folding umbrella.





In Hokkaido, cold air?reaching -6C or lower at an altitude of approximately 1,500 meters?will move into the region, likely bringing cold rain or snow to some areas. If you are heading out, please be sure to dress warmly.

Summary
On November 3rd, "Culture Day," the weather is expected to be generally clear along the Pacific coast from Western to Eastern Japan. In the Hokuriku and Northern Japan regions, however, conditions may be less favorable. On a day when rain or cold weather might be a concern, why not visit an art gallery or museum, where you can spend time comfortably in a warm, indoor setting? We hope you fully enjoy a rich season of art and learning.

Looking ahead, low- and high-pressure systems are expected to pass alternately near Honshu, leading to weather patterns that shift every few days. In Hokkaido, there will be days when snow falls as cold air from the upper atmosphere moves southward.
Additionally, please keep an eye on the movement of Typhoon No. 31, which is currently tracking south of Japan.



Tomorrow, Sunday the 1st?the first day of November?Hokkaido will see snow due to cold air in the upper atmosphere, with some areas likely to experience snow accumulation. Elsewhere, regions near Honshu will be under the influence of a high-pressure system, leading to mostly sunny conditions during the day. However, low-pressure systems and fronts are approaching from the Sea of ??Japan and the East China Sea; in Northern Japan, the weather may deteriorate late tomorrow night.

The day after tomorrow, the 2nd, a low-pressure system accompanied by a front will pass near Honshu, bringing rain across the country. In some areas, the rain may intensify and be accompanied by thunderstorms, so please exercise caution. In Northern Japan, as cold air moves south, some parts of Hokkaido may see snow, potentially continuing into the 3rd.

On Tuesday the 3rd?Culture Day?the area around Honshu will be covered by a high-pressure system, leading to a widespread improvement in the weather; it should be a good day for going out. While the 4th (Wednesday) is expected to be mostly sunny, around the 5th (Thursday), the influence of low-pressure systems and fronts will likely bring rain to many parts of Northern and Eastern Japan.

To the south of Japan, Typhoon No. 31?a very strong storm?is moving through the waters near the Ogasawara Islands. It is currently moving slowly and is expected to linger in the waters south of the Ogasawara chain through around Monday the 2nd, before gradually shifting its course northward around Tuesday the 3rd.

Swells generated by the typhoon are reaching the Ogasawara Islands, and there is a risk of warning-level high waves around the 3rd. Given the typhoon's slow movement and its expected approach toward the Ogasawara Islands while remaining a powerful storm, the impact on the region could be prolonged.
Please exercise extreme caution regarding violent winds, high waves, and potential landslides triggered by heavy rain; stay tuned for the latest typhoon updates.

While there is still uncertainty regarding the typhoon's path from the 5th onward, areas along the Pacific coast of Honshu should be on alert for high waves.

Outlook
Typhoon No. 31 is expected to move slowly northward in the vicinity of the Ogasawara Islands.
Following this, it is projected to shift briefly toward the east through tomorrow, Sunday the 1st, before turning back toward the west?essentially "wandering" (following an erratic path) near the Ogasawara Islands.
The area around the Ogasawara Islands is expected to remain under the influence of the typhoon for an extended period, from Saturday the 31st through Thursday the 5th; please exercise caution regarding high waves accompanied by swells. Additionally, as the system is expected to approach the vicinity of the Ogasawara Islands on Thursday the 5th, please remain alert and take precautions against violent winds and heavy rain.



Subsequent Path
While there is a high degree of uncertainty regarding its future path, several forecast models suggest that the system will turn toward the northeast in the waters near the Ogasawara Islands during the latter half of next week, moving away to the east of Japan.
At present, the likelihood of the system making landfall on the Japanese archipelago is considered low. However, as the areas around Honshu may be affected by moist air flowing from the typhoon, there is a risk that active rain clouds could develop along the Pacific coast during the latter half of next week. Please continue to check for the latest typhoon information.
