Japan’s Kanto region, which includes Tokyo and its surrounding prefectures, along with the Koshin region, is bracing for an unprecedented heat wave. Meteorologists predict that temperatures could soar to 40°C (104°F) in these areas, a level that poses significant health risks.
The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) has issued warnings urging residents to take precautions against heat-related illnesses. This extreme weather event is part of a broader pattern of rising temperatures observed across the country.
The Kanto region is known for its dense population and urban environment, while the Koshin region, which includes parts of Nagano and Yamanashi prefectures, is characterized by its mountainous landscapes. Both areas are expected to experience not only high temperatures but also increased humidity, which can exacerbate the discomfort and health risks associated with the heat.
