SCRIPT

You have 10 seconds to read the situation and question No. 1.

Situation:

You are listening to the weather forecast. You want to go hiking in the mountains over the long weekend.

Question number 1:

What is the best day for hiking?

And now for the weather forecast. The variable weather pattern will continue into the four-day weekend. So for all you folks planning on spending time outdoors, watch out for two factors: we’ve got a warm front coming into the lowland region and a low-pressure system moving northward. That means we can expect scattered showers with sunny breaks on Friday. The front will move up on Saturday, bringing overcast skies to the entire region with a 70% chance of rain in the mountains. High pressure on Sunday will bring clear skies across the region, but expect thundershowers on Monday.

Now, mark your answer on your answer sheet.

全訳

さて、天気予報です。変わりやすい天候パターンが四連休中も続きます。屋外で過ごす計画を立てている皆さん、二つの要因に注意してください。一つ目は、低地地域に温暖前線がやってくること。二つ目は、低気圧が北上していることです。金曜日には、所々で晴れ間が見える中、散発的な雨が予想されます。土曜日には前線が移動し、地域全体が曇り空になり、山間部では70%の確率で雨が降るでしょう。日曜日には高気圧が入り、地域全体が晴れる見込みですが、月曜日には雷雨が予想されています。
