Today, the 23rd (Sunday), it will be sunny in a wide area from western Japan to northern Japan, and the temperature will rise during the daytime due to the strong sunlight, and it is expected that there will be many places in the middle of summer with temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius.
Please take measures against heatstroke, such as hydration and use of air conditioners.

Kyoto is expected to reach 36°C
The area around Japan is within a high pressure area, and strong sunlight has been reaching us since the morning. There are many places where the daytime heat is around 35 degrees Celsius.
Looking at the temperature distribution this afternoon, pink areas with temperatures of 30°C or higher are expected to spread over a wide area, and some inland areas of Kinki are expected to have temperatures of 35°C or higher. The maximum temperature is expected to reach 33 degrees Celsius in Tokyo, 34 degrees Celsius in Osaka, and 36 degrees Celsius in Kyoto.
▼Expected maximum temperature (difference from average/season)
Sapporo 30℃ (+4/Midsummer)
Sendai 29℃ (+2/Midsummer)
Tokyo 33℃ (+2/Midsummer)
Saitama 34℃ (+3/Midsummer)
33°C in Nagoya (+1/late July)
34°C in Osaka (+1/early August)
Fukuoka 35℃ (+3/Midsummer)
Naha 33℃ (+1/Midsummer)
*Midsummer: Exceeding the hottest period of the average year
Since the high risk of heatstroke continues, it is essential to take basic measures against heatstroke, such as adequate hydration and salt replenishment, and not being active for long periods of time in the scorching sun. Even when staying indoors, it is necessary to adjust the room temperature using an air conditioner.
It’s not as hot as the 40 degrees Celsius we experienced the other day, but please be careful not to get sick.

What is a heatstroke warning alert?
The Heat Stroke Warning Alert is information released according to the expected heat index (WBGT) and replaces the previously announced high temperature advisory information. Full operation will begin nationwide from 2021.
The Ministry of the Environment and the Japan Meteorological Agency have decided to issue a “Heat Stroke Warning Alert” when heat is expected to be even more important (WBGT: 33 or higher) even if the heat index is “dangerous”.

What is the Heat Index (WBGT)?
The heat index (WBGT) is an index used internationally, and is calculated from three factors: humidity, the surrounding thermal environment such as solar radiation and radiation, and temperature, which have a large impact on the heat balance of the human body.
It is known that the correlation with the incidence of heat stroke patients is better than that of temperature, and that the number of heat stroke patients increases significantly when the heat index is above the “high alert” rank. In addition, if the heat index is ranked as “dangerous”, exercise should be stopped in principle.
» Check heat stroke information heat index (WBGT)
You can check the heat index (WBGT) on the map with the “heat stroke radar” that can be switched from the radar tab of the weather news app. (Forecasts up to 24 hours ahead can be viewed by registering as a member)
In addition to warning (WBGT25℃~), severe warning (28℃~), danger (31℃~), and a “heatstroke warning” level (33℃~), it is displayed in four levels, so you can see at a glance the degree of heatstroke risk for the day.
If the forecast is for an extremely high risk of heatstroke, please take measures such as avoiding going out and staying in a cool room with air conditioning.
