On the 15th, a high-pressure system is expected to blanket western Japan, leading to predictions of extreme heat days in areas like Kumamoto and Fukuoka. Both of these locations are in Kyushu, the southernmost of Japan’s four main islands, which has recently experienced record rainfall.
Authorities have issued heatstroke alerts throughout western Japan, particularly in regions affected by recent flooding. Residents are advised to take frequent breaks and stay hydrated to mitigate the risks of heat-related illnesses.
In contrast, northern Japan is experiencing localized heavy rainfall due to a weather front, raising concerns about potential landslides and other natural disasters. Residents in these areas are urged to remain vigilant.
