Today, the 18th, strong cold air has entered the skies over western Japan, and snow is falling even in the flatlands.
In Fukuoka, the first snow was observed 30 days earlier than normal. This is the first time in 10 years since 2013 (November 28th) that we observed the first snow in November. In addition, the first snow has been observed in Matsue and Shimonoseki (19 days earlier than normal in Matsue and 22 days earlier than normal in Shimonoseki).
Snowfall is increasing in some areas along the mountains of western Japan, and heavy snow advisories have been issued in Shimane, Hiroshima, Ehime, Yamaguchi, and Oita prefectures.

After this, snowfall will increase in some places along the mountains of western Japan until the followingnoon. The expected amount of snowfall by 6 a.m. tomorrow, the 19th, is expected to reach 15 centimeters along the mountains in the Chugoku region in all areas.
In addition, snow is expected to become heavier in some places along the mountains of Hokuriku into tonight. There is a risk of increased snowfall on mountain passes. Please be careful as car accidents increase due to the snow at the beginning of the season.
Beware of the first snow of the season
Even if you live in a place that gets a lot of snow in the winter, once the summer is over, you tend to forget what it feels like to drive a car on snowy roads. When it comes to the first snow of the season, even if you are used to snow, there are two things you need to be aware of:
(1) Be sure to replace your tires with studless tires or install tire chains. For studless tires, check in advance whether they have sufficient tread. Even studless tires that are not used much will deteriorate over time, so they need to be inspected before the season.
(2) Even if you are in a hurry, avoid sudden driving such as sudden braking, sudden steering operations, sudden starts, and sudden lane changes. If you drive suddenly, your car will be more likely to skid. When starting the car or going uphill, gently press the accelerator to avoid spinning the tires. When going downhill, reduce your speed by using engine braking and adjusting the accelerator and brake appropriately.
