Today, the 14th, the Japan Meteorological Agency announced the forecast for the next month. Temperatures will be around or above normal across the country, especially in western Japan. We will be temporarily affected by cold air next week, but after that, temperatures will trend towards the west. This year’s cherry blossom season is earlier than usual, and it looks like there will be a rush of blooming next week.
Prediction results by numerical forecast model
Today, the 14th, the Japan Meteorological Agency announced the forecast for the next month.
There are times when the monthly average surface pressure near Japan is easily affected by the high pressure distribution in the west and low pressure in the east. Additionally, there will be a trough in the atmospheric pressure near the southern coast of Honshu, and there will be a period when eastern and western Japan will be susceptible to the effects of low pressure, fronts, and humid air.
The temperature at an altitude of approximately 1,500 meters will be higher than normal from the continent to Honshu, but it will be lower than normal in the east of Japan, and there will be times when the area around Japan will be affected by cold air.
Temperatures are higher in the west, and it tends to rain more in western and eastern Japan.
Temperatures for the month are expected to be higher than normal in Okinawa and Amami, and at or above normal in western Japan.
Today, the 14th (Thursday), an “early weather advisory regarding high temperatures” was announced for southern Kyushu and the Okinawa/Amami region.
In southern Kyushu and the Okinawa/Amami region, warm air tends to flow in from the south from around March 23rd (Saturday), so temperatures may become “significantly higher” than normal. Care must be taken when managing crops that are sensitive to high temperatures.
Temperatures in eastern and northern Japan will be near normal. It seems that there are days when northern Japan is more affected by the cold air. Just when you think it’s getting warmer, the cold may return, or the temperature difference between days will become larger. Please be careful when choosing your clothes.
The amount of precipitation will be at or above normal in western and eastern Japan, which will be susceptible to the effects of humid air, and there will be days when it rains in large amounts. We are just in time for the cherry blossom viewing season, and the hours of sunshine are expected to be around normal or less than in western and eastern Japan. There are relatively few days under the blue sky that are perfect for cherry blossom viewing, so if you do have one, it may be a valuable opportunity.
*”Early weather information” is when the possibility of extremely high or low temperatures or snowfall (on the Sea of Japan side in winter), which only occurs once every 10 years, is higher than usual. This is information that calls for caution at least 6 days in advance. During the period from 6 days to 14 days in advance, there is a 30% or higher probability that the average temperature will be “quite high” or “quite low” for 5 days, or a 30% or higher probability that the amount of snow will be “quite heavy” for 5 days. We will announce information when it is expected.
Is there a rush of cherry blossom blooming next week?
Yesterday, the 13th (Wednesday), the Japan Meteorological Association announced the “2024 Cherry Blossom Bloom Forecast (4th edition)”.
Cherry blossoms are expected to bloom earlier than normal nationwide.
On the 20th (Wednesday), Fukuoka, Kochi, and Nagoya will lead the country in cherry blossom blooming. It is expected to bloom in Tokyo and Hiroshima on the 21st (Thursday). By the end of March, cherry blossoms will be in full bloom in a wide area from Kyushu to Kanto and Hokuriku.
The season to enjoy freshly blooming cherry blossoms is approaching next week. The daily temperature difference is large, but the daily temperature difference is also likely to be quite large. When viewing cherry blossoms, be sure to wear clothes that are easy to adjust even in sudden cold weather.
The cherry blossoms are expected to bloom on March 28th (Thursday) in Tokyo, and on March 29th (Friday) in Nagoya and Kochi.
From the end of this month, the number of places where cherry blossoms are in full bloom will gradually increase, but according to the month-long forecast, there will be many rainy days from now on. Please check the weather frequently for two weeks and use it to plan your cherry blossom viewing.
