Japan faces its highest average temperature for two years straight, driven by westerlies and global warming.

Japan is on track to record its highest average temperature for the second straight year, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency. Preliminary data shows temperatures were 1.64°C above the 30-year average through November, the highest since records began in 1898.
