The season of yellow and red leaves sets a new record for late arrival.

The Japan Meteorological Agency has predicted that Japan's autumn foliage season will be delayed due to warm weather, with peak autumn foliage later than usual due to higher temperatures.

Record temperatures in September and warm weather lasting into October mean the peak of the red and yellow leaf season is expected to be even later than previously forecast, according to a forecast by the Japan Meteorological Agency.

Of the 51 cities across Japan where observations were made from tree samples, 11 are predicted to set new records for the latest color change ever, and five are predicted to equal previous records.

In Tokyo, the leaves are expected to peak on November 29 and the leaves on December 5, the latest date on record. In Osaka, the leaves are expected to peak on November 28 and the leaves on December 8. In Nagano and Utsunomiya, Tochigi, the leaves are expected to peak two weeks later than an average year.

Yellow leaves are expected to appear in mid to late November in most parts of Japan, especially in the south and northeast. Red leaves are expected to appear in late November to early December in Japan. The peak foliage season varies by region.

According to the Meteorological Agency, the expected time for autumn leaves to appear in the mountainous regions of Eastern Japan is from late October to early December and from early October to mid-November in the higher regions of Northern Japan.

From late autumn to early winter, the leaves on Japan's deciduous trees turn bright colors, captivating onlookers before falling to the ground. Unlike cherry blossoms, which bloom gradually from south to north, the transition to autumn leaves gradually spreads from north to south, that is, from Hokkaido to the cities in the south.

At the beginning of the year, the fall foliage season was expected to arrive later than average in most parts of the country. Due to the hottest summer on record and warm autumn weather, the Japan Meteorological Agency predicted that Japan's fall foliage season would be delayed by warmer weather, with the peak of the fall foliage later than usual due to higher temperatures.
