A JASDF flypast (16:30-16:45) and a fishing-boat parade (16:45-17:15) precede the shells, which end at 20:00
Postponement
Stormy weather means cancellation and no reserve day is published; in 2024 the 14 August edition was postponed after the Nankai Trough advisory

Typical Risks
Firing from the water exposes the show to gusts and high waves; an October date is more exposed to sea breezes and passing fronts than an August one
Weather Cancellation History
The 14 August 2024 edition was postponed after the Nankai Trough advisory issued on 8 August 2024
