A Japanese girl plays with gingko leaves in Tokyo after record-breaking winds, gusting up to 144 km (90 miles) per hour, swept through the capital early December 5, 2004. The aftermath of the storm brought record high temperatures for the normally chilly month of December in Tokyo, rising up to 24.8 Celsius (77 Fahrenheit) shortly before noon, local media said.
