On March 15, high atmospheric pressure brought clear skies to the Okinawa region. Okinawa’s official flower, the deigo, of the legume family, was in full bloom at the Okinawa Comprehensive Athletic Park in Okinawa City, to the delight of visitors to the park.

The temperature in many areas fell below 20°C on the 15th, and the breeze made the air feel chilly, but the sunlight during the daytime was warm and comfortable. The deigo flowers were beautiful against the clear blue sky, and small white-eye birds flew around seeking the flowers’ sweet nectar.

According to the JMA Okinawa Regional Headquarters, the coming week will start off sunny with high atmospheric pressure, but cloudy days will come from mid-week onward as a result of a front and humid air.
