Abstract

In large cities of Japan such as Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and others, the number of cold winter days and hot summer nights have considerably changed since the 1950s. This paper gives: (1) data showing observed changes of urban warming in these cities; (2) discussion concerning the method and the results of estimates on number of days exceeding or not reaching certain values of maximum and minimum temperatures from monthly mean temperatures; and (3) probable changes in these numbers in selected large cities of Japan in connection with predicted global warming due to an increase in atmospheric greenhouse gases.
