Japan’s Meteorological Agency released its latest three-month forecast on May 19, predicting above-average temperatures throughout June, July, and August. Forecasters said the country was likely to face another extremely hot summer after unusually high temperatures were already recorded in May. Some areas have exceeded 35 degrees Celsius this month, raising concerns that temperatures could approach 40 degrees during peak summer periods. Rainfall is expected to remain near average overall, but weather experts warned that the rainy season could last longer than usual and typhoon activity may increase later in the summer. Meteorologists also cautioned that total rainfall could surpass current projections depending on storm activity and advised residents to prepare for possible heavy rain and weather disruptions in the coming months.
