Rainy season over in much of central, eastern, northeastern Japan
Japanese weather officials say the rainy season is likely to be over across wide regions of central, eastern and northeastern Japan. The Japan Meteorological Agency on Friday announced the apparent end of the rainy season in the Kanto-Koshin region, including Tokyo, the Hokuriku region, and the southern part of the Tohoku region. The season ended one day earlier than average and on the same day as last year in Kanto-Koshin. It ended five days earlier than average and 13 days earlier than last year in Hokuriku. Southern Tohoku saw the end six days earlier than average and 14 days earlier than last year. The agency says a high-pressure system is covering much of Japan on Friday, with clear skies mainly in eastern Japan. Many sunny days are expected over the coming week.

Rainy season ends in the Kanto region, a day earlier than average
The rainy season appears to have ended in the Kanto-Koshin region, Hokuriku region and southern Tohoku region, the Meteorological Agency announced Friday. This leaves the northern Tohoku region as the only area in Japan where the rainy season has not ended. Compared to an average year, the rainy season ended a day earlier in the Kanto-Koshin region, five days earlier in Hokuriku and six days earlier in southern Tohoku. The season ended in Kanto-Koshin on the same day as last year, 13 days earlier in Hokuriku and 14 days earlier in southern Tohoku. Areas from southern Tohoku to the Kyushu region are expected to see extremely hot days next week, with the mercury likely hitting 35 degrees Celsius or more, as the high-pressure system in the Pacific Ocean is forecast to extend near Japan. The weather agency is calling on people to take measures to prevent heatstroke. Translated by The Japan Times
