Central Tokyo looks set to experience its first November snowfall in 54 years, the Japan Meteorological Agency said Nov. 22.

日本氣象廳11月22日表示，東京市中心看似準備體驗54年來的首度11月降雪。

It last snowed at this time of year in the central part of the nation’s capital in 1962.

日本首都市中心上一次在這個時間點降雪是1962年。

The weather forecast pointed to the growing likelihood of snow falling from the evening of Nov. 23 through to the following day due to a cold air mass approaching the Kanto region.

天氣預報指出，由於冷氣團正接近（日本）關東地區，該區很可能從11月23日晚間開始一直降雪到隔天。

According to the Japan Weather Association, mountainous areas of Yamanashi and Nagano prefectures, both of which are located west of the Kanto region, can expect a covering of snow. Even in the Kanto Plain itself, which includes Tokyo, snow is expected to pile up, officials said..

日本氣象協會指出，位於關東地區以西的山梨縣與長野縣山區，預料將被白雪覆蓋。官員說，即便是在包括東京在內的關東平原，預料也將有積雪。

In Tokyo, the lowest temperature was forecast to hit 6 degrees on Nov. 23 and 1 degree on Nov. 24.

在東京，11月23日的最低溫預測只有攝氏6度，11月24日則是1度。
