Japan Records Hottest July Ever with Low Rainfall
Japan Faces Record Heat and Less Rainfall in July
Japan is getting hotter every year because of climate change caused by humans, scientists say. July 2025 was the hottest ever in Japan. The average temperature was 2.89°C higher than normal, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency.
This is the third year in a row that July has broken heat records. On July 30, the temperature reached 41.2°C in Hyogo, the highest ever recorded in Japan.
The weather agency warned that next month will also be very hot across the country.
July also saw very little rain. Many areas, especially in northern Japan near the Sea of Japan, had record-low rainfall. In western Japan, the rainy season ended three weeks earlier than normal — another new record.
Experts say the warmer weather is also affecting nature. Japan’s famous cherry blossom trees are blooming too early or not blooming well at all because winters are not cold enough.
Even Mount Fuji’s snowcap appeared late last year. It showed up in early November, a month later than usual.
