Japan prepared on Monday for a possible power crunch as temperatures climbed nationwide, with authorities warning of higher-than-expected demand as the rainy season ended in the capital, Tokyo, at the earliest since record-keeping began.

Less than two weeks ahead of an election for the upper house of parliament, surging electrical prices are making life tougher for Japanese customers, following higher fuel costs brought by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

By 1 p.m., temperatures in downtown Tokyo stood at 34.7 C , while in Sano, slightly to the north, they were at 38.6 C . If temperatures rose further and demand increased, or power supply was suddenly disrupted, the ratio could fall below the 3% minimum, he said. Weather officials said the end of the annual rainy season across much of Japan, including the Tokyo metropolitan area, had come at its earliest since the data began to be kept in 1951.
