November 9 in Okinawa was an unusually chilly day, with a cool breeze that could be felt throughout the region. On Okinawa’s main island, the temperature dropped from 1-3 degrees Celsius below usual temperatures for this time of year, making the day feel more like early December than mid-November.
Meanwhile, silver grass continues to spread around the prefecture, with its white ears of grain dancing in the autumn breeze. On the evening roads of the Shuritairacho neighborhood in Naha, the silver grass’ down sparkled as it wafted across the light beams of automobiles, creating a wonderful sight for the people hurrying home.
According to the Japanese Meteorological Agency’s (JMA) Okinawa Regional Headquarters, the coming week will see cool temperatures and a low pressure system that will result in cloudiness and rain.
