35 consecutive days of rain, a record in Tokyo.

For the first time since weather records began in 1886, Japan's capital Tokyo experienced continuous rainfall for 35 days from August 27. According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, it rained every day in Tokyo in September, which is considered a direct result of changes in wind patterns due to global warming and climate change.

Although a slightly clear sky was observed on October 1st, further rainfall is expected due to Typhoons 'Surigae' (26th) and 'Choi-wan' (27th). Notably, while Seoul, the capital of South Korea, suffered from intense heat exceeding 40 degrees Celsius last August, Tokyo experienced relatively cool weather. However, by September, this situation had completely reversed.

Due to this incessant rain and lack of sufficient sunlight, people in Tokyo and its suburban areas are experiencing severe mental stress. The number of individuals complaining about 'weather-related ailments' such as headaches and lethargy has rapidly increased, and it is unofficially medically accepted that changes in atmospheric pressure and temperature affect the autonomic nervous system. Many outdoor activities, including the five-day 'Silver Week' holiday, which occurred after 11 years, as well as massive exhibitions like 'Rock in Japan,' Japan's largest music festival, and the 'Tokyo Game Show,' which was scheduled to be held at Makuhari Messe, had to be completely canceled or restricted by authorities due to the typhoon conditions.

Along with the continuous rain, daily life has also been severely disrupted, and there is a noticeable increase in people visiting coin laundromats due to the difficulty of drying clothes without sunlight. Furthermore, the agricultural sector has also been severely impacted. As predicted by Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, due to severe damage to vegetable crops, prices of major vegetables such as cabbage, lettuce, and bell peppers are expected to rise by approximately 30% above the average of the past five years. Additionally, there is a high risk that prices for other vegetables like spinach, broccoli, cucumbers, eggplants, and tomatoes will also increase by 10% to 30% above their average prices.
