5月26日的北海道 / The highest temperature during the day on May 26

5月26日的北海道是突破紀錄的高溫。全北海道都達到30度左右的高溫紀錄。面向鄂霍次克海的佐呂間町更高達39.5度的高溫。這種氣溫十分異常。根據日本氣象局的說明，是因為複數的原因同時發生所造成的。因為高氣壓的覆蓋而造成晴天，加上從中國大陸襲來超過盛夏的暖空氣所造成的。並且，在東部地區也觀察到了焚風現象。

The highest temperature during the day on May 26 reached over 30 degrees at many meteorological observation points in Hokkaido. Saroma Town, which faces the Sea of Okhotsk, reached a scorching 39.5 degrees. It was the highest temperature recorded for the day across the whole of Japan. This weather and temperature is exceedingly rare, and many locations actually saw new records set, since observation started. According to Japan’s Meteorological Agency, the heatwave was due to the sunny weather created by high air pressure, and a hot air mass from Mainland China. In eastern Hokkaido, a Foehn effect was also seen.
