Record-breaking heavy rain is expected on the 16th in disaster-affected areas, and extremely hot weather is also forecast for many regions from Kyushu to Tohoku. Please take thorough precautions against heatstroke.

On the other hand, in western and eastern Japan, the atmosphere will become unstable, leading to sudden changes in the weather and the possibility of very heavy or heavy rain in some areas. Please be very careful about flooding in low-lying areas and rising river levels.

According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, on the 16th, it is expected to be sunny with strong sunlight and rising temperatures from Kyushu to Tokai and in various parts of Tohoku.

The daytime high temperature is expected to reach a dangerous 38°C in Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Hita City, Oita Prefecture, and Yamaguchi City. In addition, temperatures are forecast to hit 37°C in places like Shobara City, Hiroshima Prefecture, Osaka City, and Nagoya City; 36°C in Kumamoto City, Takamatsu City, Kyoto City, and other areas; and 35°C in Fukuoka City, Kagoshima City, Yamagata City, and elsewhere, including disaster areas affected by record-breaking heavy rain, with extreme heat expected in many locations.

A heatstroke alert has been issued for 20 prefectures in western Japan, including Kumamoto and Kagoshima, which have been affected by heavy rain, as the risk of heatstroke is extremely high.

Especially when cleaning up or working in disaster-affected areas, be sure to take frequent breaks and thoroughly take measures against heatstroke, such as staying hydrated and replenishing salt.

It is also important to check in with those around you to see if anyone is feeling unwell.

In western and eastern Japan, the atmosphere is expected to become unstable late at night due to factors such as moist air and rising temperatures.

There is a risk of sudden weather changes, with very heavy rain or heavy rain accompanied by localized thunderstorms.

The Japan Meteorological Agency is urging people to be very careful about flooding in low-lying areas, rising river levels, and landslides, as well as to watch out for lightning, sudden gusts of wind, and hail.
