Japan’s Kanto region, which includes Tokyo and its surrounding prefectures, is bracing for an unusual heat wave, with forecasts predicting temperatures could reach as high as 40°C (104°F) in inland areas.
This extreme weather phenomenon is particularly concerning as it poses health risks and could strain local infrastructure, especially during the summer months when temperatures typically rise.
Authorities are urging residents to take precautions against heat-related illnesses, such as staying hydrated and avoiding outdoor activities during peak heat hours.
