The system began operating on 1 November 1974, and currently comprises 1,300 stations throughout Japan (of which over 1,100 are unstaffed), with an average separation of 17 km (11 mi). Observations at staffed stations cover weather, wind direction and speed , types and amounts of precipitation , types and base heights of clouds, visibility ...
The highest recorded temperature in Japan was 41.1 °C (106.0 °F) on 23 July 2018, an unverified record of 42.7 °C was taken in Adachi, Tokyo on 20 July 2004. The high humidity and the maritime influence make temperatures in the 40s rare, with summers dominated by a more stable subtropical monsoon pattern through most of Japan.

Leslie Holdridge defined the subtropical climates as having a mean annual biotemperature between the frost line or critical temperature line, 16 °C to 18 °C (depending on locations in the world) and 24 °C. [1] The frost line separates the warm temperate region from the subtropical region.
In July 2024, temperatures in Japan reached 2.16°C higher than its July averages, breaking the record set in July 2023 at 1.91°C higher. [1] On 29 July, temperatures reached 41 °C (106 °F) at Sano in Tochigi Prefecture, and met or exceeded 40 °C (104 °F) in six other locations that included Hamamatsu in Shizuoka Prefecture. [4]
