Tokyo heat wave: 453 hospitalized
Japan is experiencing an unprecedented situation as temperatures soar to record levels during a severe heatwave, such as "Kokoshobi," which led to 453 people being hospitalized in Tokyo in a single day for heat-related assistance, with one death and four critical cases. Temperatures exceeding 40°C are causing an increase in emergency health cases, and residents are being advised to drink plenty of water and use air conditioners. Experts attribute this to climate change driven by human activity, with Japan recording its highest temperatures in history in 2025, amidst a continuous rise in heatwaves and increasing heat-related deaths, which exceeded 1,000 cases across Europe in June. Authorities have been working on developing solutions to face these heatwaves amid growing climate challenges.
