Tokyo experiences temperatures exceeding 30 deg C for first time in 2025
TOKYO - Tokyo experienced its first day of the year with temperatures rising above 30 deg C on May 20 .
As a high-pressure system covered the Japanese archipelago, temperatures soared in many places across the nation from the morning.
According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, the temperature reached 33.5 deg C in Hachioji, Tokyo, and other parts of Tokyo also experienced temperatures above 30 deg C.
Temperatures above 30 deg C were also observed in other parts of the country, including Toyooka in Hyogo Prefecture and Tottori. In Otsuki, Yamanashi Prefecture, the temperature reached 34 deg C at 2.05pm.
In central Tokyo, the temperature rose to 31.1 deg C in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo. In the Ginza district of Chuo Ward, Tokyo, many women walked on the streets with parasols.
A 57-year-old part-time worker in the ward said, 'It's clammy and hot. I want to finish my errands as soon as possible and go home before the temperature rises further.' THE JAPAN NEWS/ASIA NEWS NETWORK

Monsoon season to start early on Jeju Island from June 12
This year's monsoon season is projected to have an earlier start, with Jeju Island normally seeing monsoon rain around June 19 on average. ST PHOTO: ALBERT WAI JEJU - Jeju Island is expected to witness the start of this year's monsoon season on June 12 , with the rain expanding northward until June 14 , according to the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) on June 11 . On the morning of June 12 , rain is expected to fall on Jeju Island due to a stationary front situated south of the region. According to the KMA, the front formed under the influence of Typhoon Utip, the first typhoon of the summer, as it moved northward along the western coast of the Philippines toward southern parts of China. The state weather agency expects the North Pacific high-pressure system to expand westward, pushing the stationary front northward to trigger Jeju Island's first monsoonal rains of the season. This year's monsoon season is projected to have an earlier start, with Jeju Island normally seeing monsoon rain around June 19 on average. If weather conditions persist, this year's monsoonal rains will come a week earlier than usual and would mark the third-earliest monsoon season on record, trailing only 2020 and 2011's June 10 and matching 1998's June 12. On June 12 , the stationary front is expected to move eastward, while hot and humid air from the east of the Philippines will flow into the Korean Peninsula along the edge of the North Pacific high-pressure system. This will bring heavy rains of up to 60mm to Jeju Island, and up to 40 mm of rain to South Jeolla Province and South Gyeongsang Province. Rain clouds will also expand toward North Jeolla Province and southern parts of North Gyeongsang Province by late morning, bringing close to 5 to 20 mm of rain. By the afternoon, North Chungcheong Province as well as northern parts of North Gyeongsang Province can also expect to see rain, ranging between 5 and 10 mm. The KMA added that rain clouds will spread to most regions nationwide, including the Greater Seoul region and Gangwon Province, by June 13 , before clearing up later that night. Despite widespread rainfall, KMA meteorologist Gong Sang-min added that this week's rain is unlikely to mark the official start of monsoon season for other parts of Korea aside from Jeju Island. This is because rain must be triggered by a stationary front to be considered monsoonal rain, not simply from other systems. Though subject to change, heavy rainfall is also expected to fall nationwide from June 15 to June 16 , due to a clash between humid air flowing in from the south and a cold air mass moving down from the north.

Colorado State continues to forecast four major hurricanes in 2025
Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere at Colorado State University and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (CSU/CIRA & NOAA)/Handout via REUTERS HOUSTON - Colorado State University meteorologists on Wednesday left unchanged their closely-watched forecast for an above-average 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, which began on June 1, from their release in April. The outlook continues to expect four major hurricanes, with sustained winds of 111 miles per hour (178.6 km/h), among a total of nine hurricanes out of 17 named tropical storms before the season ends on November 30. In May, U.S. government forecasters issued a forecast for a similar number of storms, hurricanes and major hurricanes for this year. Colorado State forecasters warned that the outlook could change because of uncertainty over the development of El Nino wind shear conditions between August and October at the height of the hurricane activity. "While the odds of El Nino this hurricane season are low, they are still considerably higher than they were for last year's hurricane season," the forecast said. An El Nino is formed by cooler areas in the Pacific Ocean, and sends high winds across the southern United States, which can rip hurricanes apart. The above-average prediction is based on higher than average sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic and Caribbean, according to the forecast.

Chile holds seismic drills as chance of a big quake rises
COPIAPO, Chile - As the northern Chilean city of Copiapo was preparing last week to hold earthquake drills, it was hit by a real-life one: a 6.4-magnitude quake that cut power to thousands and caused structural damage to buildings. The drills - temporarily suspended - and last week's tremor in the Andean nation that sits on the seismically active Pacific Ring of Fire, underscores rising concern a big quake could hit soon after the last severe one fifteen years ago. "The probability of a 7.8 magnitude earthquake or larger is around 64% this year, and those odds go up as time goes on," said Sergio Barrientos, director of Chile's National Seismology Center. Chile, a long sliver of a country along the Pacific Ocean, sits at the convergence of three tectonic plates and is the site of the strongest earthquake recorded - a magnitude 9.5 in 1960. The Pacific Ring of Fire has regular volcanic activity and earthquakes, with Chileans wearily used to smaller quakes. "A piece of the roof fell off. In another room the door frames burst, windows broke," Alessandro Girardelli, a citizen of Copiapo, told Reuters about last week's quake - a mild one by Chile's standards. "The walls in three of our four rooms cracked." The planned drills involve students, workers, disaster agencies and the armed forces. They have been organized by Chile's Senapred disaster agency to prepare communities for large-scale natural disasters around the country, including earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and forest fires. "This is mainly to test our plans and actively participate with communities and evaluate the behavior in different areas of the country," said Roberto Munoz, Senapred's director for the Atacama region, adding that the suspended Copiapo drill was being rescheduled for September. The frequency of powerful quakes has led the country to develop strong and internationally renowned building standards that have helped decrease death tolls during major earthquakes. Most of the 525 deaths from the magnitude 8.8 earthquake in 2010 were due to an ensuing tsunami. Carlos Zuniga, director of the Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service of Chile's navy, said the goal after an earthquake is to evaluate the threat levels to the country and give Senapred an evaluation of a tsunami alert within five minutes. Barrientos from the seismology center said that each quake was a chance to improve the country's emergency response. "With every earthquake we learn and we prepare in the best way possible," he said. "But nature can always surprise us with something, so I never think we're ever completely prepared." REUTERS Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.
