A heat wave of 39 degrees Celsius in Hirakata City, Osaka Prefecture The center of Tokyo will be released from the heat wave for the first time in nine days Tomorrow the heat wave will return

Today, the 1st (Tuesday) was extremely hot, mainly in Kinki and Hokuriku. In Hirakata City, Osaka Prefecture, the maximum temperature was 39.0 degrees Celsius and approaching 40 degrees Celsius until 15:00. The center of Tokyo was released from the heat wave for the first time in 9 days with a temperature of 33.2℃. It’s just that after tomorrow, it’s expected to be over 35°C again. Please be careful of heat stroke.

The center of Tokyo is free from the heat wave for the first time in 9 days, and the temperature change is big

Today, the 1st (Tuesday) was sunny and hot over a wide area. Especially in the Kinki and Hokuriku areas, the heat was intense, and the highest temperature in Japan until 15:00 was 39.0°C in Hirakata City, Osaka Prefecture. In addition, Kyotanabe City in Kyoto Prefecture reached 38.9 degrees Celsius, Otsu City in Shiga Prefecture reached 38.4 degrees Celsius, and Obama City in Fukui Prefecture reached 37.9 degrees Celsius, approaching 40 degrees Celsius.

On the other hand, clouds spread in the Kanto region from the morning, and the rise in temperature was slightly suppressed. The temperature in central Tokyo was 33.2°C, the first time in 9 days since July 23rd that the hottest day (maximum temperature of 35°C or higher) was released. In addition, a thunderstorm that started around noon caused the temperature to drop suddenly, and the temperature at 3:00 pm was 23.6°C in central Tokyo, 22.8°C in Yokohama, and 24.4°C in Chiba.

The Kanto region is also recovering from the heat wave.

Looking at the forecast for the highest temperature after tomorrow 2nd (Wednesday), it seems that Tokyo will continue to have extremely hot days with 35 degrees Celsius or more. Other than that, it looks like it’s going to be dangerous heat around 35°C.

From Kanto to Kyushu, the heat wave will continue to exceed 35 degrees Celsius, and inland temperatures may rise to around 40 degrees Celsius. There are days when the temperature reaches 35°C in Tohoku, and there are many days when it exceeds 30°C in Hokkaido. The heat is continuing and I think your physical strength is declining.

Convenient to have Heat stroke prevention goods

When spending time outside in the heat, such as summer leisure activities, it is convenient to have the following items as a measure against heatstroke.

① Prepare a drink (water, sports drink, etc.) in a plastic bottle or water bottle so that you can rehydrate immediately when you notice it. Also, if you have a salt tablet or a candy containing salt, you can easily replenish the salt lost through a lot of sweat.
② Use a parasol or a hat to block the heat of the sun. On sunny days, the closer you are to the ground, the hotter the air is, so short children are exposed to hotter air than adults. Also, wearing a hat is not only effective against heatstroke, but also effective against UV rays. Remove your hat from time to time to allow the sweat to evaporate. In addition, for leisure activities in areas with no shade, such as the coast, a shade tent can provide shade.
③ Fans, paper fans, and portable fans are also recommended. The cool breeze will cool you down.
④ Make good use of cooling goods such as cooling sheets. The neck cooler effectively cools down the neck, where thick blood vessels run near the surface of the body. Also, if you have an ice pack or ice, you can wrap it in a towel and apply it to your body (neck, armpits, groin, etc.) to cool down. If you have a scarf or bandana, you can wet it with water and wrap it around your neck or head.

To prevent heatstroke, not only do you have to prepare heatstroke prevention goods, but you should also take frequent breaks in cool places and ask each other, “Are you drinking water?” Also, don’t forget.
