Tomorrow, the 14th (Tuesday), the extremely hot area will expand to the east, with temperatures reaching body temperature in the inland Kanto region and the Tokai region

2026/07/13 18:34

Tomorrow, the 14th (Tuesday), the Pacific anticyclone will expand its strength to eastern Japan. The Kanto and Tokai regions, which were cloudy and rainy today, are expected to see sunshine and temperatures to rise significantly.



With the expansion of the Pacific anticyclone, warm air at around 1500m above the ground will also expand eastward. If the weather is sunny, the warm air, which could reach temperatures of over 35 degrees Celsius, is expected to spread not only to western Japan, but also to the Sea of Japan and the Pacific side of eastern Japan.As a result, temperatures will rise in many places compared to today.

Tomorrow, the 14th (Tuesday), sunny areas will expand to the east, and even in eastern Japan, there is a risk of dangerous heat especially in inland areas.



Looking at the distribution of temperature forecasts at 3pm tomorrow, western Japan, the Tokai region, and the Kanto-Koshin region are likely to reach 30 C or higher, except for high-altitude areas. In addition, areas with temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius are expanding in the inland areas and the Nobi Plains.

Temperatures are expected to be significantly higher than today, especially in inland areas, with the highest temperature expected to be 37c in Nagoya City and 36c in Maebashi City, Kumagaya City, Gifu City, etc. Okayama City, Tokushima City, Kochi City, and other cities will experience an extremely hot day with temperatures reaching 35 degrees Celsius, and Osaka City and central Tokyo will also experience temperatures of up to 33 degrees Celsius. The heat can quickly become dangerous, so it is essential to take thorough measures to prevent heat stroke.

Western Japan also continues to experience high temperatures, and there is a possibility that the number of locations with extremely hot days will be the highest this year. The temperature does not drop easily at night, so please be careful of heat stroke both day and night.

[Breaking news] Typhoon No. 11 has occurred. Double typhoon is occurring. Typhoon No. 9 has changed its shape and is affecting Japan again.

2026/07/13 11:39

At 9 a.m. today, the 13th (Monday), the tropical cyclone that was developing to the east of the Philippines became Typhoon No. 11 (Haishen).
The central pressure is 1004hPa, the maximum wind speed near the center is 18m/s, and the maximum instantaneous wind speed is 25m/s.
Typhoon No. 11 is moving slowly westward east of the Philippines with strong winds.
It is expected to slowly move north east of the Philippines and become a tropical cyclone on the 16th (Thursday).



In addition, Typhoon No. 9, which had a major impact on Okinawa the other day, is heading north through northern China, accompanied by strong winds, as of 9 a.m. today, Monday, the 13th.
After making landfall in China, it has weakened in strength, but from now on it will make a U-turn in North China, change its course to the northeast, move into the Yellow Sea tomorrow, the 14th (Tuesday), and the central Japan Sea the next day, the 15th (Wednesday), turning into an extratropical cyclone with a front.
Typhoon No.9 is expected to transform into an extratropical cyclone and then move toward the northern Sea of Japan.
This low pressure system, warm, humid air heading toward the front, and rising temperatures during the day will cause the atmospheric conditions in Japan to become unstable, leading to thunderstorms in some places.

Weekly Forecast: Be careful of the intense heat that continues every day and sudden changes in the weather. Heavy rain is expected in Hokkaido in the middle of the week around the 15th.

2026/07/13 07:53

From now on, the area around Japan will continue to be covered in warm air. In the regions west of the Tokai region, it will be sunny every day, and with the addition of strong sunlight, the expected maximum daytime temperature is expected to be around 35 degrees Celsius on many days. Since the temperature does not drop much at night, the risk of heatstroke increases both day and night. Please take thorough measures to prevent heat stroke, such as staying hydrated frequently and taking adequate breaks.
It is expected that there will be many days around 30c in northern and eastern Japan as well. Kanto and the Pacific side of Tohoku are susceptible to the influence of humid air from the east, so it tends to be cloudy and the days are likely to continue to be hot and humid.





Looking at the weekly weather mark, western Japan has sunny weather every day, and it seems that there will be some days when the sun will reach eastern and northern Japan as well. However, in the afternoon, atmospheric conditions become unstable due to rising temperatures during the day and humid air, and in the afternoon, there is a possibility that sudden rain called ``guerrilla thunderstorms'', thunderstorms, lightning strikes, and violent gusts such as tornadoes may occur mainly inland and along mountains. In particular, if you enjoy outdoor leisure activities such as mountains or rivers, please make every effort to ensure your safety if you see signs of sudden changes in the weather, such as seeing thick black clouds or hearing thunder.

In the middle of the week, from the 15th (Wednesday) to the 16th (Thursday), a low pressure system similar to Typhoon No. 9 is expected to approach Hokkaido. There is a risk of heavy rain in Hokkaido, so please pay attention to the latest weather information that will be updated in the future.
