The Okinawan archipelago experienced a high-pressure system November 19 that brought with it blue sunny skies. Naha Port recorded a temperature of 28.6 degrees Celsius, and other areas saw similarly summery temperatures such as Iriomote Island in Taketomi hitting 29.2 degrees and Hateruma Island reaching 29.3 degrees.
Noriko Kinjo, 60, who was visiting Senaga Island in Tomigusuku with her grandson Yuma, 5, said smiling, “The weather was great and it was hot. My grandson wanted to play at the ocean, so we went to go collect seashells and see the crabs at the beach.”
According to the Japanese Meteorological Agency’s (JMA) Okinawa Regional Headquarters, the Okinawa region will still be generally sunny November 20 due to a high pressure system, however on Okinawa’s main island a weather front will descend south from the East China sea, bringing clouds in the afternoon and possible thunder and rain in the evening.
