According to Japan's Yomiuri and other sources, the highest temperature in central Tokyo exceeded 25 degrees for two consecutive days, following 25.1 degrees the previous day.

The Japan Meteorological Agency defines a "summer day" as when the highest temperature exceeds 25 degrees. This is the first time in meteorological observation history that "summer days" have appeared for two consecutive days in November, which is the beginning of winter. Due to the sudden warm weather, people wearing short sleeves were noticeable in Shibuya, Tokyo.

The appearance of "summer days" was not limited to Tokyo. Kofu City in Yamanashi Prefecture recorded 28.4 degrees, and Odawara City in Kanagawa Prefecture and Sakura City in Chiba Prefecture each recorded 28.1 degrees.

Until 7:30 a.m. that day, central Tokyo experienced stormy weather with strong winds. However, warm air soon flowed into the Kanto region, where Tokyo is located, and nearby areas, resulting in unusually high maximum temperatures in various places.

Yomiuri reported, "The heat will subside on the 8th, but 'summer days' are expected in some parts of western Japan on the 9th."

Unlike Tokyo, South Korea experienced early winter cold, and people were seen wearing thick padded jumpers and winter coats.Most regions nationwide saw temperatures drop by more than 10 degrees compared to the previous day, and strong winds caused the wind chill to fall below freezing in some areas.

Cold wave warnings were issued for the first time this fall in the Seoul metropolitan area and Gangwon Province. At 5 a.m. that day, Seoul recorded 5.2 degrees Celsius, and daytime temperatures remained around 10 degrees. The Meteorological Agency forecasted that this cold spell would continue until the 8th before easing temporarily, but more severe cold is expected from the weekend.
