社会｜都心に雪の予報、交通障害に注意 / Society | Snow forecast in the city center, be cautious of transportation disruptions.

Summary

Heavy snowfall is expected tomorrow in the Kanto region and along the Japan Sea coast.

In particular, the Japan Sea side may see a rapid increase in snowfall, which could affect transportation and raise concerns about avalanches. Snow is also forecasted for the 23 wards of Tokyo, with the possibility of heavy snow even in flat areas. Additionally, cold northern winds will bring back mid-winter temperatures, so it is important to take adequate precautions against the cold.

Dialogue

Chako: Hey Log, is it true that we’re going to have a heavy snowfall tomorrow?
Log: Yeah, it looks like there’s a high chance of snow, especially in the Kanto region. They’re even predicting accumulation in the 23 wards of Tokyo, so transportation might be affected.
Chako: Seriously? Does that mean transportation could be stopped?
Log: There’s a possibility of that. Especially on the Sea of Japan side, snowfall might increase rapidly, so we need to be careful about avalanches too.
Navi: Moreover, a strong cold front is moving in, so we’re expecting a return of harsh cold across the country. It’s important to stay warm.
Chako: I really struggle with the cold, so I have to make sure I bundle up properly!

Admin’s Note

The forecast for heavy snowfall this weekend is particularly concerning for those living in the Kanto region. In areas where snow is usually rare, disruptions to transportation are expected, so it’s important to take precautions early. It’s crucial to be mindful of measures to stay warm, just like Chako would. In regions unaccustomed to snow, extra caution is needed when driving or moving around. I believe that being prepared for heavy snowfall can lead to greater safety in emergencies.
