EXCEPTIONAL COLD GRIPS PARTS OF JAPAN

[Mark]

East Asia has been enduring a fierce polar outbreak in recent days, one that spread eastwards from Siberia.

Remarkable low temperatures have been logged across large areas of Japan.

On Tuesday, a late-April low of -8.2C was posted in Yabukawa, Iwate Prefecture; truly exceptional cold considering the locale’s May monthly low temperature record stands at -7.5C (since books began in 1977). Japan’s national May low stands at -8.1C.

Further waves of anomalous cold look set to sweep the region as the calendar flips, meaning a new May low is possible.
