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 the peak of red and yellow leaves later than usual due to higher temperatures.

Record temperatures in September and warm weather lasting until 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 (JMA) by a VNA correspondent in Tokyo.

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 will equal previous records.

In Tokyo, the peak of the fall foliage is expected to be on November 29 and the peak of the fall foliage on December 5, the latest date on record. In Osaka, the peak of the fall foliage is expected to be on November 28 and the peak of the fall foliage on December 8. In Nagano and Utsunomiya, Tochigi, the peak is expected to be 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 autumn leaves are expected to appear in the mountainous regions of Eastern Japan from late October to early December and from early October to mid-November in the higher elevations of Northern Japan.

From late autumn to early winter, the leaves on Japan's deciduous trees turn a brilliant hue, 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 start of the year, autumn foliage was expected to arrive later than average in most parts of the country. Due to the hottest summer on record and the warm autumn weather, the Japan Meteorological Agency predicted that Japan's autumn foliage season would be delayed due to the warm weather, with the peak of autumn foliage later than usual due to higher temperatures.
