Tokyo hits record heat-related hospitalizations since 2010
Tokyo recorded its highest number of heat-related hospitalizations since 2010, with 453 people taken to the hospital in a single day due to a severe heatwave, resulting in one death and four critical cases. The city, which has a population of 14 million, experienced record-breaking temperatures exceeding 40°C, a phenomenon known as "Kokushoubi," a recent term linked to climate change that is increasing the frequency and severity of heatwaves. Authorities emphasized the importance of drinking water and using air conditioning to prevent heat-related illnesses, as Japan also set record figures in emergency response activities for the past 63 years.
