From the 24th (Friday) to the 25th (Saturday), winter-like atmospheric pressure patterns will strengthen, and the coldest air of the season will flow in. From Hokkaido to Hokuriku, snow will fall even in flat areas, and there will be places where it will snow. Winds are increasing across the country, and there is a risk of storms. It’s going to be a cold winter all at once.

Winter storm from 24th (Friday) to 25th (Saturday)

On the 23rd (Thursday: Labor Thanksgiving Day), a low pressure system will develop as it moves from the Sea of ​​Japan to the north of Hokkaido, and a front extending from the low pressure system will pass from northern Japan to eastern Japan. From Hokkaido to Hokuriku, rain and thunderstorms are expected to gradually increase in the afternoon. Atmospheric conditions will be unstable, and you should be careful of lightning, gusts of wind, and hail.

From the 24th (Friday) to the 25th (Saturday), winter-like atmospheric pressure patterns will strengthen, and the coldest air of the season will flow in. Cold air with temperatures below -6 degrees Celsius at an altitude of around 1,500 meters (if it falls, it will likely turn into snow in flat areas) is expected to flow into western Japan. Strong cold air with temperatures below -12 degrees Celsius is expected to move south into the northern Tohoku region.

From the 24th (Friday) to the 25th (Saturday), it will snow even in flat areas from Hokkaido to Hokuriku, and there will be some places where it will snow. It looks like it will be the first snow in Sendai, Fukushima, and Niigata. There is a risk of heavy snow along the mountains. As the cold air peaks at night, there will be snowfall in some places even on the Pacific side of Tohoku. Please ensure your vehicle is equipped for winter and be aware of changing road conditions. Winds are strong across the country, and there is a risk of storms in Hokkaido and Tohoku. Transportation may be affected, so please be careful.

On the 26th (Sunday), the winter-like atmospheric pressure pattern will ease. However, a low pressure system is expected to advance near northern Japan from the 27th (Monday) to the 28th (Tuesday), and winter-like pressure patterns are expected to return to the area on the 29th (Wednesday). Rain and snow will fall intermittently from Hokkaido to Hokuriku.

Warm and cheerful, then suddenly cold winter weather

On the 23rd (Thursday: Labor Thanksgiving Day), warm air will flow in and the maximum temperature will be higher than normal nationwide. Temperatures are expected to rise to around 18℃ in Hokkaido and Tohoku. From Kanto to Kyushu, the temperature will be over 20℃, and in central Tokyo it will be 22℃, similar to mid-October.

On Friday the 24th, the temperature plummeted. The highest temperature in Fukuoka City will be 11℃, which is expected to be the coldest temperature around the end of the year. The Kanto region, where the flow of cold air is slow, will continue to be warm. On the 25th (Saturday) and 26th (Sunday), the maximum temperature nationwide will be below normal, making it likely to be winter cold. It will be a midwinter day (maximum temperature below 0℃) in Sapporo. From Kanto to Kyushu, the temperature is around 12 degrees Celsius, and the cold wind feels like it’s going to hit you. Please take all possible measures against the cold.

The cold will ease up after the 27th (Monday). The temperature difference is likely to increase depending on the day.

Snow and rain from Hokkaido to Hokuriku, dry and sunny skies on the Pacific side

From the 30th (Thursday), there will be a lot of clouds from Hokkaido to Hokuriku, and there will be days of snow and rain. The Pacific side is expected to have many sunny and dry days.

There will be many days when both the maximum and minimum temperatures are at normal levels. As is typical of December, the mornings and evenings will be cold, and there will be many days when the air will be cold during the day.

First snow of the season. Be careful even if you are used to it.

Even if you live in a place that gets a lot of snow in the winter, once the summer is over, you tend to forget what it feels like to drive a car on snowy roads. When it comes to the first snow of the season, even if you are used to snow, there are two things you need to be aware of:

(1) Be sure to replace your tires with studless tires or install tire chains. For studless tires, check in advance whether they have sufficient tread. Even studless tires that are not used much will deteriorate over time, so they need to be inspected before the season.
(2) Even if you are in a hurry, avoid sudden driving such as sudden braking, sudden steering operations, sudden starts, and sudden lane changes. If you drive suddenly, your car will be more likely to skid. When starting the car or going uphill, gently press the accelerator to avoid spinning the tires. When going downhill, reduce your speed by using engine braking and adjusting the accelerator and brake appropriately.
