TOKYO, July 11 (Reuters) - Japan's weather bureau said on Monday there was a lower possibility than a month ago that a La Nina weather pattern would emerge during the country's summer, which runs from around June to August. A La Nina could appear later in autumn, it added.
Weather conditions were currently normal after an El Nino weather pattern - linked to heavy rainfall and drought in different regions - ended earlier this year, the Japan Meteorological Agency said in its monthly forecast.
