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.

Today, the 13th (Monday), a heatstroke warning alert has been announced for 14 prefectures from the Kinki region to the Kyushu and Amami regions. Dangerously hot weather is expected to occur mainly in western Japan, with predicted maximum temperatures of 38 C in Hita City, Oita Prefecture, and 37 C in Yamaguchi and Hitoyoshi City, Kumamoto Prefecture, which could reach dangerous levels that could exceed body temperature. Additionally, the temperature will not drop much at night, and there are likely to be some places where the minimum temperature from tonight until tomorrow morning will be over 25 degrees Celsius, making it a tropical night.

Please be more careful about heat stroke and take thorough measures such as drinking water frequently, using air conditioning, and taking appropriate breaks.



In the afternoon, atmospheric conditions will be unstable in western Japan, especially inland and along the mountains, due to rising daytime temperatures and moist air. Even in areas where there is no umbrella symbol in the weather forecast, please be careful of sudden rain or thunderstorms in the afternoon, as well as strong gusts such as lightning or tornadoes.

Hokuriku, Kanto, and Tohoku will have a lot of clouds, and it looks like it will be a rainy day. In Hokuriku, please be careful of heavy rain accompanied by localized thunder. The maximum daytime temperature is not expected to be as severe as in western Japan, but it will be a hot and humid day with many places around 30 degrees Celsius.

Today, the 12th, the
meteorological observatory announced that the rainy season appears to have ended in the Shikoku region.

Shikoku region: Around July 12th (5 days earlier than normal)

*The announcement of the end of the rainy season is preliminary. It may be revisited and revised in the fall.

Today, the Shikoku region is covered by the Pacific anticyclone and is mostly sunny. In Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture, the temperature was 33.6 degrees Celsius by 12:00, making it extremely hot as the rainy season ends.



For this reason, heat stroke warning alerts have been announced in multiple regions in western Japan.



For the next week, the Shikoku region is expected to be covered by the Pacific anticyclone and have many sunny days.



The middle of the week is expected to be particularly hot, with maximum daytime temperatures exceeding body temperature. Please take care of your health.

High temperatures will continue in eastern and western Japan from now until around the 18th. Be careful of heatstroke.

2026/07/12 06:33

On the 11th, the Japan Meteorological Agency announced general weather commentary regarding high temperatures.

From around the 14th (Tuesday) to the 18th (Saturday) in eastern Japan, and around the 18th (Saturday) in western Japan, there will be days covered by high pressure and warm air, so it is expected that there will be some extremely hot days with maximum temperatures of 35 degrees Celsius or higher.
Please take care of your health, such as preventing heat stroke, and managing your crops and livestock.



Looking at the forecast for the maximum temperature for the next week, it looks like Fukuoka Prefecture will continue to experience extremely hot days with temperatures above 35c until around Wednesday the 15th. There will also be days when the temperature is 38 C or 37 C, which is higher than your body temperature, so it is essential to take precautions against heatstroke.
Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka will initially experience midsummer days with temperatures above 30c, and from around the 14th (Tuesday) it is expected to become an extremely hot day with temperatures above 35c.
Especially in Tokyo, the temperature will rise from 30 degrees Celsius on the 13th (Monday) to 37 degrees Celsius on the 14th (Tuesday), rising by 7 degrees Celsius over the next day, so the temperature will rise rapidly as the body is still not used to the heat.
Please take precautions against the heat by staying hydrated frequently and using the air conditioner appropriately when indoors.

Also, please check the "Heatstroke Warning Alert" issued jointly by the Japan Meteorological Agency and the Ministry of the Environment, and consider refraining from outdoor activities as much as possible on the days that are announced in the target area.
