Temperatures forecast to remain high in September, October

Awesome.

"We have 4 seasons" say the Japanese. 1 week of spring, 1 week of autumn, and a mix of humid and disgusting, and dry and freezing for the rest.

It won’t. They predicted massive snowfall last year. Didn’t happen. Still dirty about hat omens I don’t forget.

Definitely doesn't feel like Autumn

One thing I’ve learned living in Japan almost 40 years, weather officials like to think the can predict the weather but they can’t

I’ll try and extend my sea swimming record into November without a wetsuit, this year

Expect more people to be taken to the hospital and get heatstrokes, particularly the vast majority of women will change their wardrobes to the Fall season attire which is warmer. Fashion statements and seasonal trends in Japan are more important to them than the weather conditions overall.

I'll enjoy the autumn leaves on Nov 27th in Kyoto. Locked in. Mother nature: don't mess it up for me.

In Fukushima, definitely feeling like autumn, cooler days, cold mornings, it's much cooler than last few weeks.

It been a 100 degrees for about 2 weeks in Texas

I think it has always been hot in September

Been a bit cooler around here the last few days. Below 32C I can handle going out and about on my bike, worst will be over for sure you see.

And how many swimming pools will close at the end of August?

With kids back at school it is good for elderly to go to the pools in September.

First of all the water quality will be much cleaner with less sunscreen and hair etc. Then there is the social aspect of elderly enjoying sometime together as well as the physical benefits to their health of walking and/or swimming in the water.

If the government made a “keep cool Grandma & Grandpa” campaign for September it would be booming… once they can convince the pools to stay open in 30c weather.

Yeah, the weather in September is always beautiful for swimming, I don't understand this either. Kids don't care if the water is a bit cooler, they have fun regardless.

Has more to do with kids going back to school, older people just stay inside with their AC.

Fall should be shortened and start on November first.

Yup, climate change really is kicking it into high gear. It's usually starting to get cool throughout Japan by September, and yet it still feels like the middle of summer.

My condo has a pool....with a glass roof sealing it .

The water is like a warm bath...horrible.

No one uses it.

There is a facility to put cold water in....do they use it ? No.

Japan stupidity from design to the use.

Idiots.

Summers definitely getting longer.

Thank God for that!

Hot temperatures and fair weather gives you the freedom to do whatever you want, jump out of the bed and go explore the wild in no time. People who complain "atttsu" are the same who can't spend a day without saying "sammmu" some 3 or 5 times as soon as late autumn hits.

Guess it was around 20th of December last year, an unbelievable 23ºC night so we grabbed the opportunity to visit 4 Christmas markets in Tokyo.

The same people who dress like the grim reaper in the summer complaining it's "atsui". Also, wearing expensive overkill full body down coats with 3 layers including heat tech inside complaining it's "samui" when it is 12 degrees outside.

Good! The summers where I live always feels so short! But I've already picked a few mushrooms, so Autumn is definitely here!

A tropical will impact Osaka on the 28 of August,it will vivisect Japan , according to the latest European model

All computer modelling. Crappy inputs = cruddy outputs.

Gonna make hay while the sun shines.

Life is too short to wait or worry about how hot the summer is.

First they predicted a mega earthquake, then a very distructive typhoon and now extended and dangerously high temperatures. They're not trying to maintain the fear, are they?

No.

Here in Ishikawa in Noto this summer has been fairly normal like many others here. Temperatures average between 27 and 31 degrees in the day and around 19 to 23 degrees at night. One of the reasons why I love living here other than its natural beauty.

When I lived in Nagoya the worst year I can remember was 2007 by far. From seeing the temperatures in the news this year in that area of Aichi I would say this year is on par with 2007. In that year from the mid July until mid september almost everyday was above 35 degrees and at its hottest during the beginning of August to the end of Obon it was over 38 and 41 degrees that year. The best summer in Nagoya was 2009 which was far cooler than 2007 due to the extended rainy season of that year. As I hate hot summer weather this is one of the reasons why I never go south of Kanazawa from the beginning of June to Mid September unless I absolutely need to. My wife is from Aomori so I enjoy visiting there during August and always enjoy the drive up there during the mid summer.

I'm jealous. Sounds like paradise!

We had a similar forecast last year. By mid-September the temperature was about manageable. From October to mid November it was great.

Excellent! More time to surf without a wetsuit and build up immunity to jellyfish stings and eating natto.

That is the thing, rational people like to have reliable information to make decisions and react without fear to that information, only people with systematic antiscientific bias feel fear when exposed with this information.

Excellent! More time to surf without a wetsuit and build up immunity to jellyfish stings and eating natto.

that makes no sense, part of the most dangerous complications produced by jellysish stings happens precisely because of the involvement of the immune system on top of the direct consequence of the toxins. and why would anybody need immunity to natto? do you think it is a pathogen? if anything that would mean developing an allergy, so what you are calling "excellent" are two obviously negative consequences.

Just because you do not understand something is not a rational reason for rejecting it.

I explained the reasons why this makes no sense, since you don't argue about those reasons you are implicitly accepting you mistakenly thought that getting immune problems on top of the toxicity of the stings was good, and that somehow natto is a pathogen you are supposed to get immunity against.

Both things are wrong.

I'm not a climate scientist. But, I will theorize that it's because it's still Summer.
