Rainy season ends in wide area of Japan

Weather officials say the annual rainy season has ended across much of the Japanese archipelago.

The Meteorological Agency announced on Saturday that the rainy season has apparently ended in most of western and eastern Japan.

The agency said a high-pressure system is bringing sunny weather to most of the country, except in southern Kyushu and northern Japan where it is still raining or cloudy.

Temperatures rose to 33.4 degrees Celsius in Fukui City, central Japan, and 31 degrees in central Tokyo as of noon.

The agency says the scorching weather is likely to continue in a wide area but that unstable atmospheric conditions may bring thunderstorms to some mountainous areas.

It warns that people in areas which have had plenty of rain recently should remain on the alert for a possible landslide.
