Buds and new green leaves in the trees in the northern part of Okinawa Island mark the arrival of spring.

On March 3 the weather in this region was overcast. However, in the surroundings of Yofuke, Nago City, warm rays of sunlight shone down brightly on Itaji chinkapin buds, providing a delightful sight to drivers who passed by. According to the Okinawa Meteorological Observatory, due to the influence of fronts and moist air in this region over the next week, there will be many cloudy days and rain is likely to fall in some places.
