On Monday, the 13th, dangerously hot weather prevailed, mainly in western Japan. On Tuesday, the 14th, there is a possibility of widespread extreme heat in the Kanto region and other areas, so caution against heatstroke is necessary. ■Dangerous heat continues mainly in western Japan; "Extreme Heat Days" recorded at 72 locations nationwide On the 13th, "Heatstroke Warning Alerts" were issued for 14 prefectures, the highest number for 2026. The Japan Meteorological Agency announced the end of the rainy season in southern Kyushu. This is two days earlier than average, meaning the rainy season has now ended in all of western Japan. The hottest location was Shimanto City, Kochi Prefecture, which recorded 38.4℃, close to a "scorching hot day" (a day with temperatures above 40℃). Other locations that recorded "extreme heat days" (temperatures above 35℃) included Iwakuni City, Yamaguchi Prefecture (37.5℃) and Hita City, Oita Prefecture (37.3℃). In Takamatsu City, where a temperature of 35.9℃ was recorded, people were seen using fans and hand fans to cool their faces. People on the street: "It's too hot, my body can't cope." "The temperature is rising, and it's scary." The ice stored in the natural refrigerator, the "ice house," was made by freezing ice during the winter. On the 13th, the "ice house opening" ceremony was held on Mount Rokko in Kobe City. The wind from outside is cooled by the ice, making the temperature inside about 10℃ lower than in the city. In Kumamoto City, where a high temperature of 35℃ was recorded, shaved ice was served to people visiting graves to help them cope with the heat while cemetery cleaning was being done in preparation for the Obon festival. ■ "It's extremely humid": Is the end of the rainy season in Kanto around average? Dangerous heat continues in western Japan. Meanwhile, in the Kanto region… Person on the street: "It's incredibly humid. The heat clings to your body and is really hard on the body." It was a damp, rainy day, typical of the rainy season, with rain on and off since morning. So, when exactly will the rainy season end? Meteorologist Aimi Sakaguchi: "The Kanto-Koshin region is likely to have many cloudy and rainy days in the latter half of this week. The average date for the end of the rainy season is July 19th. This year will be around the same time. I think it will be around next week." ■Peak of heat expected around the 16th (Thursday): Humid and intense heat even in Kanto Meteorologist Aimi Sakaguchi: Today, the 13th, marked the end of the rainy season throughout western Japan, and many days with temperatures above 35℃ occurred, mainly in western Japan. Tomorrow, the 14th, the Pacific high-pressure system will extend further east, so the area of ​​heat is likely to spread to eastern Japan. Temperatures exceeding 35°C are expected to reach inland areas of the Tokai and Kanto-Koshin regions. Nagoya is forecast to reach 37°C on the 14th. The heat will extend even further north on the 15th. Sapporo is forecast to reach a high of 30°C. Furthermore, the foehn phenomenon, where winds blow over mountains, will occur, making it hot even on the Sea of ​​Japan side. Toyama is forecast to reach a high of 38°C on the 15th. The Kanto region is also expected to see significant temperature increases on the 15th, with Tokyo forecast to reach a high of 34°C, just shy of a heatwave, and Maebashi and Kumagaya forecast to reach 36°C, a heatwave day. Looking ahead, the peak of the heat is expected to be around the 16th (Thursday). In the Kanto region, including Tokyo, cloudy and rainy days will increase towards the end of the week (16th-17th), so considering this, I think the end of the rainy season is still some time away. Even with cloudy skies, the predicted high temperature in Tokyo on the 16th (Thursday) is 35℃, so it will be a very hot and humid day. Please make sure to stay well-hydrated and take great care to avoid heatstroke. ▼TBS NEWS DIG Official Website: https://newsdig.tbs.co.jp/ ▼Subscribe to our channel [Easier access to the latest news]    / @tbsnewsdig   ▼NEWS DIG Latest News [Important information close at hand] https://www.google.com/preferences/so... ▼Submit information here: "TBS Insiders" https://www.tbs.co.jp/news_sp/tbs-ins... ▼Submit video here: "TBS Scoop Submission" https://www.tbs.co.jp/news_sp/toukou.... #news #TBS #newsdig
