Mt. Fuji, Today
Unusual Weather
Today a big tempest has covered all over Japan, like a big typhoon, incurring some casualties.
Some meteorologist said that the decrease of ice in the Arctic Sea has made the atmospheric pressure around the north pole weak, allowing cold air mass in Siberia to move more freely even to the southeast and to Japan eventually.
So, this winter (from December to February) was very cold in Japan with much snow falling in areas facing the Sea of Japan off Siberia.
But in March Japan had a summer day, when the temperature is over 25 degrees Celsius, a few times. It is the first time in the Japanese history that this extraordinary weather condition has occurred in the end of winter.
In 2011 Japan suffered an M9 earthquake and subsequent great tsunamis, but the summer of 2010 was dangerously hot in Japan.
I hope that those extraordinary warm days in March are not an ill omen for 2013.
