Meteorological Analysis: Satellite imagery paints quite a complicated weather pattern across the region. With the help of the descending scatterometry passes that afternoon, we can observe a surface trough stretching laterally along the Ryukyu islands, an indicator of an approaching warm front from a nearby quasi-stationary system that is common at this time of year. A few other subtle troughs are observed off the southern coasts of Honshu, which interact with the sinking and diffused clouds induced by a minor high pressure system off the northern coasts facing the Sea of Japan. As such, an upper-level halo may be observed from the ground across Honshu due to the cirrus filaments covering most of Japan. This kind of pattern is conducive for minor orthographically influenced eddies along the southern shores of central Honshu.

Meteorological Analysis: A significant high pressure cell has situated itself right over central Honshu, Japan. This is producing warm, dry, calm weather across much of the Japanese archipelago. Little to no cloud cover is observed across much of Chugoku, Shikoku and Kansai/Kinki, allowing snow-capped hills and mountains to reflect beautifully on this morning’s Himawari-9 visible satellite imagery.

Precipitation: Rain is currently falling, and was falling in the last hour as well.
Temperature: The temperature is displayed as 3°C, indicating cold conditions.
Wind Conditions: Calm to moderate winds at the surface.
Visibility: Due to the thick cloud cover, natural light is diffused, creating a dim atmosphere. Visibility is slightly reduced, but no extreme fog or haze is present.
Additional Notes: The combination of low temperature and continuous rain may lead to wet and slippery conditions on roads and sidewalks. If heading outdoors, it is advisable to wear waterproof clothing and be cautious of possible temperature drops.
