According to the Japanese meteorological department, November can expect to see fewer sunny autumn days this year, as indicated by the recent one-month weather forecast. The rather gloomy prediction comes as a contrast to the commonly bright and colorful fall that Japan experiences. The exact reasons for this change are currently unclear, but this can affect various aspects of Japanese life, including agriculture and outdoor activities.

In Japan, the autumn season is highly valued not only for its moderate weather but also for the stunningly vibrant fall foliage visible throughout the country. Any changes to the typical weather patterns could impact nature-related tourism in the fall, including local leaf-viewing ("momijigari") events. Additionally, this could mean changes in agricultural patterns as certain crops depend on specific weather conditions.

Unlike Japan, where the weather can have significant implications for cultural and agricultural activities, in the US or EU, similar forecasts might be met with less severity. Although changes in weather affect agriculture and outdoor activities in these regions too, the cultural significance of specific seasons is less emphasized.
