Center location: Mariana Islands
Central pressure: 1008hPa
Travel direction/speed: Northwest 15km/h
Maximum wind speed: 15m/s
Maximum instantaneous wind speed: 23m/s

The path of the typhoon is still uncertain, but there is a possibility that it will affect the Ogasawara Islands and Izu Islands.
In conjunction with Typhoon No. 7, there is a risk that it will affect areas near Japan, so please pay attention to future information.

Weather for tomorrow 23rd (Tuesday): Be careful of heavy rain in Kyushu and Shikoku

2026/06/22 18:19

The rainy season front is moving northward. Rain is expected to fall in Kyushu and Shikoku, which are close to the front, and may become heavier. Northern Japan is now in a high-pressure area, and the rain in Tohoku is likely to ease.




Okinawa/Amami receives plenty of sunlight and gets hot, so please drink plenty of water and take breaks.
In Kyushu and Shikoku, it rains intermittently, making it difficult for temperatures to rise, with many places not reaching 25c during the day. However, due to the high humidity, it is likely to be uncomfortably hot.
Western and eastern Japan will be covered in clouds, but there will be some places where the sun will reach in the afternoon, and the maximum temperature will likely exceed 25c in many places. There is a possibility of showers in the Kanto region from the afternoon. It's safe to have a folding umbrella.
The rain in Tohoku has finally subsided, and the weather will start to improve in the afternoon. There are places in Hokkaido where it rains due to the trough in the atmospheric pressure, so don't forget your umbrella.

[Typhoon No. 7] Develops into extremely strong force; fear of approaching western Japan on 27th

2026/06/22 18:00

Typhoon No. 7 is extremely strong with strong winds and is moving west-northwest in the east of the Philippines.
The central pressure is 935 hectopascals, the maximum wind speed near the center is 50 m, and the maximum instantaneous wind speed is 70 m.




There is a risk that it will approach western Japan from the 26th to the 27th.

Even if the typhoon itself is far away, the rain can suddenly intensify due to the influence of humid air, and the outside situation can change dramatically in a short period of time.
Check disaster prevention information and warnings from the Japan Meteorological Agency and local governments frequently and be prepared for changes in the situation.

Rainy season front stalls in Honshu; risk of heavy rain increases mainly in western Japan from 24th to 26th

2026/06/22 17:40

The front is stationary near Honshu, and rain and cloudy weather are expected to continue this week.

There is a risk of warning-level heavy rain in western Japan, especially from the 24th to the 26th.



Warm and humid air flows in from the southern ocean, increasing the activity of the stationary front, making it easier for rain clouds to form.
Be careful of landslides, flooding of low-lying areas, and rising river waters.



Over the coming week, there will be many cloudy and rainy days from northern Japan to western Japan, but on the 29th it is expected to be sunny mainly on the Sea of Japan side.
Other areas are likely to be cloudy, but there is a chance of sunshine.
This may be a valuable time to hang your laundry outside to dry.

Okinawa and Amami will continue to have many cloudy and rainy days.

Typhoon No. 7 (Maker Color) is heading north with strong winds, and is likely to approach Okinawa in the second half of the week

2026/06/22 07:05

As of 6 a.m. today, the 22nd, Typhoon No. 7 is located in the east of the Philippines and is moving westward at a speed of approximately 30 kilometers per hour, accompanied by strong winds.

#Typhoon No. 7 22nd (Monday) 6:00
===================/br Center position East of the Philippines
Strength Strong
Movement West 30km/h
Central pressure 955 hPa
Maximum wind speed 40 m/s (near the center)
Maximum instantaneous wind speed 60 m/s
==================



The typhoon is expected to continue to intensify and move westward until around the 23rd (Tuesday). It is then expected to change course northward around the 24th (Wednesday) and head south of Okinawa later in the week around the 26th (Friday).

Currently, there are large fluctuations in the forecast regarding the course and development of the typhoon, but there is a risk that it will approach Okinawa with strong force and bring stormy winds later this week.
There is a risk of strong rain and winds leading to rough weather, so it is a good idea to pay close attention to future typhoon information and prepare for typhoons early.

Weather for today, the 22nd (Monday): Be careful of increasing rain in the Tohoku region; the weather is downhill from the west; the sky is cloudy in the Kanto region as well.

2026/06/22 06:22

Today, the 22nd (Monday), the sky is cloudy in many places due to low pressure and fronts. In the Tohoku region, you need to be careful about the intensifying rain.



In Hokkaido, there are many clouds throughout the prefecture, and there is a possibility of showers. It's safe to have a folding umbrella when going out.

It will likely rain throughout the day in Tohoku. Locally active rain clouds will pass through the area, leading to strong rain and thunderstorms. Some rivers have swollen due to the rain that has fallen so far, so please be careful on the Pacific side of landslides, flooding of low-lying areas, and rising river waters due to heavy rain.

The weather in Hokuriku is likely to be rainy in the afternoon. There is a chance of showers in the afternoon as well.

In the Kanto and Tokai regions, there will be periods of sunlight in the morning, but the sky is likely to become cloudy in the afternoon. It would be a good idea to have a folding umbrella when you go out.

The area of rain is expected to gradually expand in western Japan as the seasonal rain front moves northward. It will start to rain in Kyushu from the evening onwards, and in Chugoku and Shikoku at night.

Temperatures are high, mainly on the Pacific side, from western Japan to eastern Japan. In many places in the Kanto region, temperatures can reach around 30 degrees Celsius, making it feel hot and humid during the day. Please be careful of heat stroke.
In northern Japan, the temperature will not rise and it will feel cool. Please be careful when choosing your clothes as there are many places where the weather is lower than the day before.

Weather for tomorrow 22nd (Monday): Rain continues in Hokuriku and Tohoku. Other areas are also not feeling refreshed, and Kyushu should be careful of rain that will get heavier at night.

2026/06/21 18:25

Tomorrow, the 22nd (Monday), it will continue to rain in Tohoku and Hokuriku, and caution is required to avoid road flooding and landslides. Clouds will likely spread from the Kanto region to the west, and there will be a chance of showers in places. It's safe to have a folding umbrella.
It looks like the heat will be moderate, but the humidity is high and it will feel damp.




Tomorrow, there will be many cloudy and rainy areas across the country, and the weather will continue to be dull.



Tohoku and Hokuriku are expected to continue experiencing rainy weather due to the effects of low pressure. Locally active rain clouds may pass through, causing heavy rain and thunderstorms. Be careful of flooding of roads and low-lying land. Due to today's rain, there are some places with heavy rainfall, especially on the Pacific coast of Tohoku, so please avoid approaching dangerous places such as steep slopes and swollen rivers.
There will be a lot of clouds on the Pacific side of eastern Japan, including the Kanto region, and the weather will not be clear. There are likely to be some scattered showers after the evening.
Western Japan will also have a lot of clouds, and there will be some rain in the northern Kinki region and the Sanin area, where moist northerly winds will blow.
Also, the rainy season front is expected to move north from the west, bringing rain from Kyushu. Please be aware that there may be heavy rain with thunder in some places at night.

Today, the 21st (Sun), is the summer solstice. Even though there is little sunshine, the temperature is rapidly rising

2026/06/21 18:03

Today, June 21st, is the summer solstice. It is the day when the sun passes the northernmost point on the celestial sphere, and the night is the shortest in the year in Japan.

Today, there was a low pressure system east of the Sea of Japan and the Kanto region, and a front remained stationary in the south of Japan, resulting in cloudy weather. Although it was the time of year when the sun rose high in the sky, there were not many areas where the sunlight reached the area. Even so, there were some sunny spells in some parts of the Pacific coast from midday to early evening.

As you might expect from the sun on the summer solstice, the temperature rose rapidly, even though the sky was not exactly clear.

Owase City, Mie Prefecture 35.1c (extremely hot day)
Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture 34.0c (highest this year)
Nangoku City, Kochi Prefecture 31.8c (new record high for June)



Tomorrow, cloudy and rainy weather will continue across the country, but temperatures are expected to rise from the Kanto region to western Japan, even if it is cloudy. It will be hot and humid at the end of the week, so please be careful not to get heat stroke.



Meanwhile, temperatures in northern Japan are likely to be lower than normal due to the influence of high pressure stagnant over the Sea of Okhotsk.

Rainy season begins in northern Tohoku; warning of heavy rain in Tohoku region late on the night of the 22nd

2026/06/21 12:53

Earlier, the Japan Meteorological Agency announced the onset of the rainy season in the northern Tohoku region.

Northern Tohoku rainy season begins: June 21st (6 days later than normal)

*This is a preliminary figure and may be revised at a later date based on the actual weather conditions from spring to summer.

Early in the rainy season, a low pressure system moving through the Sea of Japan approaches the Tohoku region. This morning, a new low pressure system formed on a front extending from the low pressure system and is moving eastward near the Kanto region. It is currently raining mainly in the Tohoku region due to the influence of warm, humid air flowing toward a low pressure system and front.

Towards the end of the night on the 22nd, heavy rain will fall in the southern part of the Pacific coast of Tohoku, with some areas experiencing heavy rain. Depending on the location and degree of development of the low pressure system and front, there is a possibility of heavy rainfall of warning level.



Please be careful of landslides, flooding of low-lying land, and rising river waters.

You can check the degree of danger in your area on "Kikikuru" provided by the Japan Meteorological Agency. Danger levels are displayed color-coded on the map.





You can intuitively understand the evacuation action you should take now.
Please pay attention to the latest information that will be announced in the future.

Tohoku to Hokuriku regions are on alert for heavy rain

2026/06/21 08:50

There is a low pressure system moving eastward in the Sea of Japan, with a warm front passing through the Kanto region and extending into the sea east of Japan, and a cold front passing through western Japan and extending into the East China Sea.
Atmospheric conditions are unstable as warm, humid air flows toward low pressure systems and fronts.



Currently, rain clouds are spreading from Tohoku to the Tokai and Hokuriku regions, and there are places where the ground has become loose due to the rain that has fallen so far.



Towards tomorrow, warm, humid air will flow toward low pressure systems and fronts,
and heavy rain will fall in the southern Pacific side of Tohoku and the Hokuriku region in some places.

Depending on the location and degree of development of the low pressure system and front, there is a possibility of warning-level heavy rain, so please be careful and be on guard.
