Today, the 31st will also be intensely hot in the southern Tohoku and Kinki areas where the strong sunlight shines. In the inland area of Kanto, the heat exceeded body temperature in some places. Be careful of heatstroke. Cloudy Hokkaido, northern Tohoku, Chugoku, Shikoku, and Kyushu are also likely to experience uncomfortably hot weather.
Dangerous heat continues
Today, the 31st, the area around Honshu is covered by the Pacific high pressure system.
The intense heat will continue from the southern Tohoku region to the Kinki region due to the strong sunlight. There are many places where the maximum temperature rises to around 35℃, and in the inland areas of Kanto such as Saitama, it seems that there are places where the temperature exceeds the body temperature of 38℃. It will be the eighth consecutive hot day in central Tokyo. Please continue to be vigilant against heat stroke.
In Hokkaido and northern Tohoku, there will be many clouds and rain and thunderstorms. In Chugoku, Shikoku, and Kyushu, strong sunlight will be blocked by clouds during the day, but the uncomfortable heat is likely to continue. The maximum temperature will be around 33°C.
Heat stroke information “dangerous” in southern Tohoku to Kinki
Looking at the heat stroke information, there are many places with the highest “dangerous” rank from the southern Tohoku to the Kinki region. Hokkaido is on “warning”, while Chugoku, Shikoku, southern Kyushu, and Okinawa are on “strict alert”.
In addition, heatstroke warning alerts are set for Nagasaki, Fukuoka, Tokushima, Wakayama, Hyogo, Kyoto, Fukui, Toyama, Niigata, Shizuoka, Yamanashi, Kanagawa, Tokyo, Chiba, and Saitama prefectures. It has been announced in prefectures, Gunma, Tochigi, Ibaraki, and Fukushima prefectures.
*The heatstroke warning alert is jointly announced by the Ministry of the Environment and the Japan Meteorological Agency with the aim of preventing heatstroke, and is information to call for “awareness” of the heat. The standard for announcing a heatstroke alert is the “heat index (WBGT)”. The heat index is an index that expresses the severity of the heat, incorporating “temperature,” “humidity,” and “radiant heat (heat emitted from the ground, buildings, and bodies, which is emitted from hot objects in large amounts).” If this heat index is predicted to be “33” or higher at any point in the 58 prefectural forecast zones that divide the country, a heatstroke alert will be issued. In places where a heat stroke alert has been issued, please be more thorough than usual in your usual heat stroke countermeasures.
Actions to be taken when a heatstroke alert is announced
When a heatstroke alert is announced, there are five things you should do to avoid heatstroke.
① Avoid going out as much as possible and avoid the heat. Avoiding heat is the most important way to prevent heatstroke. Avoid non-essential outings as much as possible. Indoors, regardless of the time of day or night, use an air conditioner to adjust the temperature of the room.
② As a general rule, exercise outdoors or indoors without an air conditioner should be canceled or postponed.
③ Let’s practice heat stroke prevention actions more than usual. Before you get thirsty, drink water frequently and wear cool clothes as much as possible.
④ Let’s talk to people who are at high risk of heat stroke. Elderly people, children, people with chronic diseases, obesity, and people with disabilities are more susceptible to heatstroke, so people around them say, “Use the air conditioner even at night,” and “make sure to drink water frequently.” Please call
⑤ Check the heat index (WBGT). The heat index varies greatly depending on the time of day and location. Please check the heat stroke prevention information site of the Ministry of the Environment and use the heat index as a guideline for your actions.
