Hi everyone.
A week or so back I made a post complaining about the weather still being warm. I got mixed responses but I got a LOT so thank you very much for taking the time to reply.
Some were on my side, how it’s still warm for November (end of October at time of posting) but most were like ‘what are you talking about m8? It’s lovely! Perfect weather!’
I’m in Osaka.
It’s November 7th. People this morning are wiping sweat off their brow. Last night we slept with the windows open and barely resisted putting the aircon on. Every time I check the weather forecast it looks like it’s going to be cool, then EVERY single time it changes last minute to say 26℃ for the week.
I’m not budging on this. Somebody surely must feel like the weather is stupidly warm this year this late?
I don’t mean to attack anyone by the way it’s only a bit of fun. I understand nobody is to blame for the weather (besides all of humanity obviously 🙂 )

“Somebody surely must feel like the weather is stupidly warm this year this late?”
I do. Sun umbrellas are out like it’s the heat of summer, air con is actually on in some buses, and it’s damn hot. That being said, it’s never that bad here at night and, it’s suppose to cool down soon.
“it’s only a bit of fun”
That doesn’t really fly in this sub.
Global warming is real.
To quote Mark Twain, “everybody complains about the weather, but nobody ever does anything about it.”
Well it is 27 Deg celcius in Saitama prefecture today
For November, it is kind of non sensical, but it is cool since I don’t need to put on the heater at night
El Niño year and hot summer and warm winter is expected in Japan. You may be up for disappointment if this is not what you are expecting.
Good news though, there should be an obvious drop in temperature in a few days.
Edit: wow, guys I’m not denying global warming, calm the fuck down. I’m regurgitating things I heard from the weather news only.
And the forecast for the next two weeks is not encouraging either (says my phone). Maybe we should all immigrate to Nuuk, Greenland, where’s a comfy 0°C right now (That’s too warm for there too, methinx).
Hey there. I’m also one of those people who made a “wtf this weather is shitty” post a few days ago too. I’m right there with you. Even today in Tokyo it’s cloudy and windy, and I’m still sweating (and seeing Japanese people sweat too) on the way to work. I had to turn on a fan to blow directly on me last night cause I was woken up by the heat. I’m just pissed knowing that we’re getting shafted out of winter (my favourite season) little by little, cause summer just doesn’t want to end…
What do you want us to say mate?
You’ve correctly identified that it’s hot. Some people think that’s nice.
I’ve lived here since 2006. This is extremely weird.
Been here for almost 20 years. I couldn’t agree more on what you said
I have seen like twenty mosquitoes in the past two days, its insane
I’ve got a mate who is hoping the cold weather stays off a little longer since his skin doesn’t do well with less humidity. I’m keen for the change in weather soon. It’s kind of weird that Tokyo and Perth where my fiancé lives have similar – if not identical average temperatures right now and Perth is heading into summer. For him <20 is cold, and I’m here saying its a perfect temperature haha.
The only people still pretending GCC isn’t real or is “perfectly natural” are dickless losers who think admitting the truth means “The Libs Win”.
I admit, i slept with the balcony door open last night because it was really hot. The cool breeze after the rain was absolutely lovely
Watch the weather news for your area and understand what’s going on. Between global warming and El Nino the country is experiencing above average temperatures and a large chunk of the country is at an elevated potential to experience above average temperatures through winter.
If you left the windows open last night did you not get rather wet.
Yeah Sunday was the tipping point for me. It was 27 degrees on the west coast. That’s bullshit levels of heat one month out from winter.
We have maybe 10 years left before the whole edifice collapses.
It’s stupid hot. I put the A/C on last night. Slept like a drunk baby.
I mean… even in the “frosty” Aomori we still have 15-20°C during the day and it only barely drops to single digits by night. The cold days we have are usually more because of strong wind rather than actual cold air. It’s definitely pretty warm for November
It’s really weird to see the leaves changing while I’m out in my t shirt and shorts.
There are two questions potentially at work here and its not clear which this is about.
If the question is “Is this warm November weather unusual and a sign of climate change that we should be worried about?” then I think the answer is “yes”. I’ve been here more than 20 years and its noticable that the warm temperatures are lingering a lot longer than they used to.
On the other hand, if the question is “Do you find this weather uncomfortably warm?” then the answer for me is “Definitely not”. Low 20s is my favorite temperature by far. We don’t get a lot of days like this so while I’m worried about the climate implications of it, I’m also quite happy to enjoy it while it lasts.
Looking at the forecast its going to get chillier from next week (Daytime high of 14 in Osaka on Monday if you are interested), so I doubt we’ll be seeing another one of these posts again for a while.
It’s not just Japan. They’re calling it the “Super” El Niño this year and it’s effecting all the climates in and around the Pacific.
It’s also 27 today in Tokyo but the last really warm day, tomorrow will be only 21 🥳 I hate heat as well, you’re not alone.
yer, it’s hot.
Sign of end times.
Enjoy it, this will be one of the coolest years of the rest of your life. The global ocean surface temperature just hit six sigma above average. If that doesn’t scare you then you probably don’t understand what it implies.
