The meteorological winter, defined as December 1 to February 28, has just ended and the data for mean winter temperature are available for the Pacific island nation of Japan up to 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So are winters getting colder, or are they getting milder like the media like to have everyone believe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tokyo winters see no warming in 37 years<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First we look at the mean DJF winter temperature for Tokyo going back 37 years, using the untampered data from the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA):<\/p>\n\n\n

Had we cherrypicked and started the plot in 1988, i.e. excluded the colder 1985-87 winters, then we would see Tokyo winters have gotten colder and harsher \u2013 the opposite of what CO2 climate alarmists are claiming. Everything looks completely natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, also using the data from the JMA, we plot the mean annual temperature of the Tokyo island of Hachij\u014d-jima<\/a>, located about 287 kilometers south of Tokyo \u2013 away from  urban sprawl and heat island affects:<\/p>\n\n\n

Though the last two winters were mild, the winter trend since 1948 at Hachij\u014d-jima has been cooling. No warming going on here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Japan winters have been cooling<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concerning the entire island country of Japan as a whole, here\u2019s the plot of mean winter temperatures going back to 1988 (up to 2021):<\/p>\n\n\n

There hasn\u2019t been any sign of warming in Japan since all the hype began in 1988. Go figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what can we say about data from Japan? Interested readers could check to see if the data pass all of the 8 \u201cWestern Electric Rules\u201d, meaning the system is statistically stable and the year-to-year variability is just statistical noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
