The Okinawa Meteorological Observatory announced in the “Early weather report concerning heat” that the Okinawa region would experience a gentle pressure system with high barometric pressure to the west, with a low-pressure system to the east, bringing in warm and wet air from the south, leading to hot weather through January 23-24. They are forecasting highs of around 24-25° C, and that the warm weather will carry through the end of the month. The observatory is cautioning people to take care with their crops.

According to JA Okinawa, depending on the type of agricultural product, the stretch of warm weather could affect the time period for harvesting.
