> Rain has fallen somewhere in Tokyo for 35 straight days, the city’s longest such streak since records began in 1886. Central Tokyo has recorded 629 millimetres since early September—nearly three times the monthly average—as El Niño and unusually persistent autumn rain fronts combine. Meteorologist Matthew Cappucci discusses the causes and how a warming atmosphere can intensify downpours.
