九州きゅうしゅうを中心ちゅうしんに猛烈もうれつな暑あつさ　熱中症ねっちゅうしょう対策たいさくを　土砂災害どしゃさいがいにも十分じゅうぶん注意ちゅうい

Due to the effects of record-breaking heavy rain, the ground remains unstable in areas such as Kyushu, so it is necessary to be extremely cautious of landslides.

On the other hand, on the 13th, extremely hot weather is expected mainly in Kyushu, including Kumamoto Prefecture, so please take thorough measures against heatstroke, such as taking frequent breaks when cleaning up.

According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, in Kumamoto Prefecture, where a special heavy rain warning was issued on the 11th, record-breaking rainfall was observed, with places like Tamana City receiving about twice the average rainfall for the entire month of August in just half a day.

Due to the recent rainfall, the risk of landslides has become extremely high in Ishikawa Prefecture, and Landslide Warning Information has been issued in some areas.

The front that brought heavy rain will move northward near western Japan and its activity will weaken, but in areas such as northern Kyushu, which experienced record-breaking rainfall, and Ishikawa Prefecture, which is currently experiencing heavy rain, the ground remains unstable.

There are places where river embankments and revetments have been damaged, so from now on, even a little rain could increase the risk of disasters such as landslides or river flooding.

Please be very careful of landslides, flooding in low-lying areas, and rising river levels.

On the other hand, on the 13th, temperatures are expected to rise in various areas, including regions affected by the heavy rain.

A heatstroke warning alert has been issued for 16 prefectures, including Kumamoto and Kagoshima, as well as from Mie to Okinawa, as the risk of heatstroke is expected to be extremely high on the 13th.

When cleaning up or carrying out restoration work, please make sure to take frequent breaks and take sufficient precautions. Also, check in with those around you to see if anyone is feeling unwell.
