About This Trend
The end of the rainy season has been declared in the Kanto-Koshin, Hokuriku, and southern Tohoku regions of Japan.
According to NHK News, the Japan Meteorological Agency announced on July 18 that these regions have officially ended their rainy season earlier than usual. The Kanto-Koshin region ended 1 day earlier than the average year, while Hokuriku ended 5 days earlier and southern Tohoku ended 6 days earlier. This early end is attributed to the expansion of the Pacific high-pressure system. The agency also noted that temperatures are expected to rise, prompting warnings about heatstroke.
