Experts predict that the Pacific side of Japan will continue experiencing lower than average rainfall for the upcoming month. This prolonged dry spell is expected to have both positive and negative impacts on various sectors of Japanese society. Increased reliance on weather forecast data and preparation for potential water shortages and agricultural impacts are of high consideration.

Rainfall patterns are closely monitored in Japan as they significantly affect agriculture, water supply, and even disaster management. With Japan’s unique geographic conditions flanked by the ocean and mountains, uneven rainfall affects regions differently. In urban areas, it might mean water restrictions, while in rural areas, crop yields might be affected.

In the US or EU, specific drought conditions often lead to water usage restrictions, increased wildfire risk, and a higher reliance on irrigation for agriculture. These regions have larger contingency plans in place as they frequently undergo various extreme weather conditions. The higher reliance on weather predictions and adaptation strategies are universal.
