Unusually warm weather in northern Japan puts damper on winter events

Unseasonably heat climate in northern components of Japan have brought on iconic winter sights to soften away this week, inflicting ice deposits on bushes to now not seem so monster-like, and snow huts to be capped with blue sheets.

Whereas Hokkaido and the northeastern Japan areas will doubtless be affected by chilly air on the finish of this month, the Meteorological Company forecasts temperatures in early March to doubtless be larger than common.

Attributable to heat air flowing in from the south, temperatures rose throughout Japan over the previous days, reaching ranges usually seen in April or Might. On Thursday, 27 observations factors, primarily in northeastern Japan, recorded all-time excessive temperatures for February, together with Sendai in Miyagi Prefecture at 21.1 levels Celsius.
