Temperatures rose across Japan from Hokkaido to Kyushu on the 16th. In some areas, dangerously high temperatures were recorded for the third consecutive day. Experts predict that intense heat will persist in Western Japan until around next Thursday. Meanwhile, moist air has caused localized rain cloud development in regions such as Kanto. Residents are urged to remain vigilant regarding potential flooding in low-lying areas. Particular caution is advised for those using underground facilities. Proper heat precautions and weather monitoring are essential during this period.
