Japan experiences longest heatwave in five days
Japan recorded its longest heatwave since data collection began in 2010, lasting five consecutive days with temperatures exceeding 40°C in six central cities, including all prefectures within the Tokaido region. Some areas reached record highs of up to 40.8°C. Meteorological warnings have been issued about the health impacts of the hot weather on residents. This is the first event classified as a "severe heat day" (Kokushobi) outside the Tokaido region, according to the Japanese agency's definition. The unprecedented heatwave continues, posing widespread health and environmental risks.
