TOKYO: Japan will see mostly average summer weather from July to September, the official forecaster said on Wednesday, which could provide some reprieve for the nation's power companies as consumers use their air conditioning at normal seasonal levels.
Eastern Japan, including the most densely populated Tokyo area, will have a 40 percent chance of average temperatures for the period, the Japan Meteorological Agency said in its monthly three-month forecast.
Japan's power supply is expected to be tight this summer as the nation's entire nuclear fleet remains offline, so less demand for electricity would allow them to not have to fire up some of their older thermal plants.
The table below gives the temperature forecast for the coming months in terms of the percentage below average, average or above average, with Okinawa, Amami referring to those islands in southwestern Japan.
