The first 2015 autumn foliage front report is fresh off the press. According to the leaf-viewing forecast issued by Japan's Weathernews, the optimal viewing period in northern Japan this year is expected to be similar to last year’s, with red leaves already visible at Daisetsuzan Asahidake from today. In eastern and western Japan, influenced by temperatures, the timing is slightly later compared to last year.

Due to the weakening of the Pacific high-pressure system,since late August,temperatures across Japan have been lower than usual, meaning that parts of Hokkaido such as Daisetsuzan Asahidake now already have red leaves on display. Meanwhile, in the plains of northern Japan and the mountainous areas of eastern and western Japan, temperatures in October are similar to last year, so the optimal viewing period is also expected to be around the same time. However, in the plains of eastern and western Japan and the mountainous regions of Kyushu, where cold air currents are weakening, temperatures are rising, which means the foliage season is expected to be delayed.
