High temperatures forecast for much of Japan from September to November

I thought you guys might want to know about this.

I was looking forward to Autumn but looks like I’ll have to wait more than I’d like to… I’m considering moving to the Northern tip of Hokkaido and do remote working from a hut.

It says warm air is likely to cover areas near Japan because of the El Nino phenomenon that has been making cumulonimbus clouds near the equator very active, causing high atmospheric temperatures in addition to the influence of climate change.

    First year in Japan?

    Autumn lasts from mid-November to early December, 2 to 3 weeks on average. I go from a T-shirt in early November to a winter jacket in December.

    The colouring (of nature and trees) is still very beautiful around mid-November, in or around Tokyo.

  4. Nice, shorts until well into December… Wonder if that will mean January and February are particularly cold…

  7. Can we get an officially government approved and hankoed extension of Cool Biz through at least October, in that case?

  10. Welp. At least pls make winter shorter. My ac can handle heat, but totally suck at handling cold.

  12. Thanks for the info! But Hokkaido was as hot or hotter than Tokyo today, I think. 34 right now according to my car.

    I suppose this means 30s until Sept 15th at least. Ugh.

  17. but is everyone else also noticing that it’s less humid than it used to? to be totally honest I don’t mind the heat that much if it’s not humid. there’s been a couple humid days especially before big thunderstorms/rain, but there’s been a lot of hot days with almost no humidity! so if September and October are like that I don’t mind it too much.

  19. I don’t trust weather in Japan but would be nice to have warmer Halloween. I always feel bad for the stripper girl and Sailor moon boys

  20. That’s it. I’m going to convince my kids not to have kids. I shouldn’t have had kids. We are definitely going to destroy ourselves
