Current Weather Conditions
On February 23, significant snowfall blanketed areas along the Sea of Japan and the northern Kinki region.
The Japan Meteorological Agency has indicated that the prevailing winter pressure pattern will continue to intensify into February 24.
Residents should remain alert as the agency has flagged potential traffic disruptions.
The risk of snow accumulation sliding off rooftops also poses a safety hazard.
Here are the recorded snowfall amounts leading up to 1 p.m. on February 23:
| Location | Snowfall (cm) |
|---|---|
| Tadami, Fukushima | 34 |
| Kaneyama, Fukushima | 28 |
| Nagai, Yamagata | 28 |
| Uonuma, Niigata | 26 |
Looking ahead to February 24, the forecast suggests substantial additional snowfall:
- Up to 50 cm expected along the Tohoku coastline
- 70 cm anticipated in Niigata Prefecture

Heavy snow is likely to persist, impacting even lower areas of the central Kinki region, which is less accustomed to such conditions.
This weather pattern could lead to significant transportation challenges.
