In Akita Prefecture, which has been experiencing record-breaking rainfall, it rained again today on the 16th (Sunday), so be on the lookout for further heavy rain disasters. In Tohoku and Hokuriku, there is a risk that there will be more rainfall again around the 19th (Wednesday). On the other hand, from the Kanto region to the west, the heat wave will reach its peak until around Tuesday, the 18th, and the heat will exceed body temperature mainly in the Kanto-Koshin and Tokai regions.

Record heavy rain in Akita Prefecture There is a fear that rainfall will increase again mainly in Tohoku and Hokuriku from 19th to 20th

Due to the active seasonal rain front, Akita Prefecture has experienced record-breaking rainfall. At Mt. Taihei in Akita City, the amount of rainfall for 48 hours until 5:00 am on the 16th (Sunday) exceeded 350 mm, making it the first heavy rainfall in observation history. Today, the 16th (Sunday), there will be active rain clouds mainly in Akita Prefecture. In Akita Prefecture, there are rivers that are flooding, and there are places where the ground is loose. Even in areas where disasters do not usually occur, the risk of flood damage and landslide disasters is increasing, and strict vigilance is required.

The activity of the front will gradually weaken, but from the 17th (Monday) to the 18th (Tuesday) warm and moist air will flow in, and the atmospheric conditions will become unstable in the Tohoku region. Rain clouds will develop in some places, and heavy rain is likely to fall locally.

From the 19th (Wednesday) to the 20th (Thursday), the front will extend to the vicinity of northern Japan, and a low pressure system on the front will pass through the vicinity of northern Japan. There is a risk that the amount of rainfall will increase again, mainly in the Tohoku and Hokuriku regions. Caution and vigilance are required for landslide disasters, flooding of low-lying land, and flooding of rivers.

The heat peaks until the 18th.

From the 16th (Sunday) to the 18th (Tuesday), the Pacific High will strengthen its force and cover the area from western Japan to eastern Japan.

From Kyushu to Kanto-Koshin and Hokuriku, the strong sunlight is shining, and it seems that the heat will reach its peak this time. There are many places with extremely hot days (maximum temperature of 35℃ or higher), and the heat will exceed body temperature in some places, mainly in Tokai and Kanto Koshin. The temperature is expected to rise to 37 degrees Celsius in central Tokyo and 38 degrees Celsius in Kumagaya and other areas. The risk of heat stroke is high, so please take all possible measures against the heat.

From the 19th (Wednesday) to the 20th (Thursday), the strength of the Pacific anticyclone will weaken and the front will move southward, so it will rain widely. It seems that the peak of the heat wave will be over for a while. However, the heat will continue.

The stable summer sky won’t last, what will happen after the rainy season?

After the 21st (Friday), there will be more sunny days in the Kanto Koshin area and westward. However, there are likely to be showers here and there. In Hokuriku and Tohoku, there will be sunny days after the 21st (Friday), but there will be more rainy days after the 24th (Monday).

It’s the end of the rainy season, but from Kyushu to Kanto Koshin, the strength of the Pacific anticyclone is likely to increase from today’s 16th (Sun) to 18th (Tue). However, it will rain again on the 19th (Wednesday), so it is possible that the sun will return after the 21st (Friday). Even if the rainy season ends, it is unlikely that the stable summer sky will continue this summer due to the effects of the El Niño phenomenon. There will be occasional showers and thunderstorms. In addition, in the Hokuriku and Tohoku regions, rain is likely to continue in the future, and the end of the rainy season may still be some time away.

Points to prevent heatstroke

To prevent heat stroke, keep the following points in mind.

① Try to take care of your physical condition on a daily basis. You can notice changes in your physical condition by measuring your body temperature and checking your health every day at a fixed time, such as in the morning.
② Avoid the heat as much as possible and keep hydrated before you get thirsty. It is effective to wear cool clothes as much as possible, and to use a parasol and a hat. Before and after bathing and after waking up, be sure to replenish water first. If you sweat a lot, don’t forget to replenish not only water but also salt.
③ Don’t put up with the heat, use the air conditioner to moderately lower the indoor temperature. It is a good idea to keep a thermometer in the room and check the room temperature frequently.

If you feel even slightly unwell, do not overdo it and rest at home. Elderly people, children, and people with disabilities are particularly susceptible to heatstroke, so please be careful and be considerate of those around you.
