Unprecedented September Heat: Tokyo and Nagoya Break Long-Standing Records
In a scorching turn of events, central Tokyo experienced an \"extremely hot day\" on September 18, marking the latest date in the year since records began in 1875. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) announced that the temperature soared to 35.1 degrees Celsius in Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward around mid-morning, shattering the previous record set on September 12, 1942.
Not to be outdone, Nagoya also recorded a new benchmark, reaching 36.4 degrees Celsius on the same day. This remarkable heat surge highlights the intense summer lingering into the fall season.
The occurrences in both Tokyo and Nagoya underscore the evolving climate patterns, raising questions about the future of Japan's weather extremes.
