The Japan Meteorological Agency has predicted that Japan's autumn foliage season will be delayed due to warmer weather, with the peak of the foliage occurring later than usual due to higher temperatures.
According to a report by the Japan Meteorological Agency, a TTXVN correspondent in Tokyo said that record temperatures in September and warm weather extending into October mean that the peak of the autumn foliage season is expected to occur even later than previously forecast.
Of the 51 cities across Japan where observations were made from tree samples, 11 cities are predicted to set new records for the latest color change ever, and 5 cities will equal previous records.
In Tokyo, the autumn foliage is expected to peak on November 29th and the red leaves on December 5th, coinciding with the latest date ever recorded. In Osaka, the autumn foliage is expected to be at its best on November 28th and the red leaves on December 8th. In Nagano and Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture, it is expected to be two weeks later than the average year.
The golden leaves are expected to appear in mid-to-late November in most parts of Japan, especially in the south-northeast. The red leaves are expected to appear in late November to early December in Japan. The peak of the foliage season varies in different regions.
According to the Meteorological Agency, the expected time for autumn foliage in the mountainous regions of eastern Japan is from late October to early December, and from early October to mid-November in the higher regions of northern Japan.
From late autumn to early winter, the leaves on Japan's deciduous trees turn a dazzling array of colors, captivating viewers before falling to the ground. Unlike cherry blossoms, which bloom gradually from south to north, the transition to autumn foliage spreads slowly from north to south, that is, from Hokkaido to cities in the south.
At the beginning of the year, the autumn foliage was expected to arrive later than average in most parts of the country. Due to the hottest summer on record and the warm autumn weather, the Japan Meteorological Agency predicted that Japan's autumn foliage season would be delayed by the warm weather, with the peak of the foliage occurring later than usual due to higher temperatures.
