This is the time when children have more opportunities to spend time outdoors, such as practicing for sports days. Today, the 14th, we continue to see a number of people being transported to the hospital with symptoms that appear to be heat stroke. It is dangerous to exercise during the day when the temperature rises, so please refrain from exercising as much as possible.
Rain from the autumn rain front will finally bring autumn in the second half of next week.
Some people will have a three-day weekend from the 16th (Saturday) to the 18th (Monday, Respect for the Aged Day).
Hokkaido and the Japan Sea side will experience rain due to the autumn rain front. Even if the Pacific coast from Tohoku to Kyushu is sunny, please be aware of the changeable weather, including sudden thunderstorms.
Additionally, temperatures during the three-day holiday period are expected to be above normal throughout the country, and the region from Tohoku to Kyushu is expected to continue experiencing a severe lingering summer heat with a minimum temperature of around 25°C and a maximum temperature of around 32°C. Please take the same measures against the heat as you would in midsummer and remain vigilant against heat stroke.
It looks like there will be a big change in the weather and temperature after the holidays.
From the 19th (Tuesday) to the 20th (Wednesday), the autumn rain front in the Sea of Japan is expected to move southward near Honshu, and cool air will flow in from the north.
Rain will fall over a wide area on the Pacific side, and at the same time, the harsh lingering summer heat seems to be subsiding.
