Central Tokyo recorded its first November summer day in three years on November 6, with temperatures climbing to 25.3 degrees Celsius, while northern Japan faced the threat of violent winds and severe snowstorms from the evening and a tropical depression far south of the country threatened to develop into Typhoon No. 32, potentially the first such storm in 32 years.

Hokkaido - As central Tokyo enjoyed its first summer-like day in three years on November 6, northern Japan braced for potentially dangerous weather. Temperatures soared to 25.3 degrees Celsius in the capital, while storms and strong winds threatened the north. A tropical depression in the southern Pacific could develop into Typhoon No. 32, the first such storm in 32 years.

The summer temperatures were a stark contrast to the rapidly approaching winter in the north, where heavy rain and blizzards were expected. Meanwhile, a tropical depression far south of Japan was being monitored for signs of strengthening, which could develop into a typhoon. The unusual weather patterns are expected to continue, with cooler temperatures forecast for Tokyo in the coming days.
