Hot enough for ya? Never been this hot so late in the year in Japan!

Headline: The Japan Times, 10/21/2026

Map:  X

Tokyo climbed above 30 C [86 F] by early afternoon, the threshold the Japan Meteorological Agency classifies as a “midsummer day,” JMA data science official Kazuhiro Shirono said. 

It marked the latest 30 C-plus day recorded in the capital since observations began in 1875, he said. 

Prior to this, the latest midsummer day record was Oct. 19, 2024, Shirono said. 

Temperatures also rose above 30C in Osaka, breaking the city’s previous record for the latest midsummer day, set on Oct. 20, 1933. 

Osaka began recording weather observations in 1883, according to the JMA. 

Scientists say human-induced climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme heat events around the world.

Migratory birds share bird flu with polar bears in Greenland

 

Photo and headline:  Iceland Monitor, 10/16/2026

Krishna Ramanujan reports:

Migrating birds that breed in the Arctic are spreading avian influenza to polar bears in eastern Greenland, according to a new study that found evidence of infections in bear blood samples acquired from Greenland Inuit subsistence hunters. 

The results suggest that such emerging viruses may pose risks to Arctic mammals. 

The Arctic is warming at faster rates than much of the rest of the planet—in the western Arctic, four times the global rate. As a result, threatened polar bears that hunt on dwindling sea ice are being forced to search for food elsewhere, which has likely increased their odds of exposure to highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI).
