Yesterday, November 7th (Tuesday), the maximum temperature in central Tokyo was 27.5℃, setting a new record for the highest temperature in November in 100 years. Today, the 8th (Wednesday), the temperature is significantly lower than yesterday, but it is still higher than normal. However, after the rain on Friday the 10th, the coldest air of the season entered and the temperature plummeted. The temperature drops below 10℃ in the mornings and evenings, making it so cold that heating is necessary. Prepare heating equipment and winter preparations.

7th: Record-breaking heat for November just before the start of winter

Yesterday, the 7th (Tuesday), warm air, sunshine, and southerly winds blew in the sky, making it unusually hot for November, especially in the Kanto region. It was the hottest November in 17 locations in the Kanto region, and the highest temperature was 28.1℃ in Odawara City, Kanagawa Prefecture and Ryugasaki City, Ibaraki Prefecture, and 27.5℃ in central Tokyo, breaking the highest temperature for November in 100 years.

・Highest temperature record updated for the first time in 100 years
・3 summer days in November, the most ever
・Two consecutive summer days in November, the first time since statistics began

Today, the 8th (Wednesday: the first day of winter), even though the air will change and there will be plenty of sunshine, the maximum temperature in central Tokyo is expected to be 22°C (the maximum temperature by noon was 20.9°C). Although it will be more than 5℃ lower than yesterday, the 7th (Tuesday), it is still about 4℃ higher than normal, about the same as mid-October. During the day, you can comfortably wear a long-sleeved shirt. However, once the sun goes down, it gets really cold. Make sure to wear layers such as jackets.

The season quickly moves forward after the rain on the 10th (Friday)

Tomorrow, the 9th (Thursday), will be sunny across the country, but it will start raining in Kyushu, including Fukuoka, late at night.

On the 10th (Friday), it will rain across the country, and this rain is expected to be followed by the strongest cold air of the season. Cold air, which can cause snow in the plains, is expected to hit Hokkaido and northern Tohoku, and cold air, which can cause snow in the high mountains, is expected to move south from southern Tohoku to the San’in area.

In Hokkaido and the northern Tohoku region, there is snow on the plains, and there is likely to be news of the first snow in places like Sapporo (normal year for Sapporo’s first snow: November 1st).

From the night of the 12th (Sunday) to the 13th (Monday), cold air, which is likely to cause snow in the mountains, is expected to move southward to the south of Honshu. In southern Tohoku, Hokuriku, and northern Kanto, there will be snow mainly in high altitude areas, and there is a possibility of snow accumulation on mountain passes. Since this is the first snow of the season, be sure to have winter tires and other equipment when crossing the mountain pass at night. Be careful not to overdo it when climbing or viewing autumn leaves.

It’s cold in early winter this weekend

Starting this weekend, the weather will suddenly become colder across the country.

In central Tokyo, the temperature will barely rise from the morning of the 11th (Saturday), with both the minimum and maximum temperatures expected to be 15°C. The lowest temperature on Sunday the 12th is expected to be 9℃, the first time this season it will drop below 10℃. Mornings will get even colder next week, with temperatures dropping to 7℃ on the 14th (Tuesday). In Nagoya, Osaka, and Fukuoka, the minimum temperature is expected to drop to around 7℃ next week.

Generally speaking, when the temperature drops below 10℃, it is said to be cold enough to require heating. The season will move forward from this weekend, so be sure to prepare for winter, including heating equipment.

Also, this weekend there may be an announcement of “Kogarashi No. 1” in the Tokyo and Kinki regions. The north wind is getting stronger and it’s getting colder, so please take care of your health.

Temperature and clothing guidelines

This is a guideline for temperature and clothing.

If the temperature is over 25 degrees Celsius, you’ll want a short-sleeved shirt, and if it’s below 20 degrees Celsius, you’ll want a long-sleeved shirt. If the temperature drops below 15℃, you will need to wear something like a cardigan, and if it drops below 10℃, you will need to wear a coat.

Tomorrow, the 9th (Thursday), temperatures will rise to around 25 degrees Celsius in places like Osaka and Fukuoka, so it looks like we’ll be wearing short sleeves for the last time this year during the day. However, the temperature drops to around 13℃ in the morning and evening, so please wear short sleeves and a layer of clothing.

In Nagoya and Tokyo, you can put away your short sleeves. In preparation for the cold weather starting this weekend, prepare for winter clothes such as sweaters and coats.

In Hokuriku and southern Tohoku, winter clothing such as down coats is likely to be necessary.
