The Kanto region will be cool due to rain tomorrow, the 25th. As the weather improves, summer days will increase. Be careful of the heat during Golden Week (Weather Forecaster, Chief of the Day Shift, April 24, 2024) – Japan Weather Association tenki.jp

Tomorrow, the 25th (Thursday), the weather will improve widely, including in the Kanto region, and the number of summer days with maximum temperatures of 25°C or higher will increase rapidly.
The predicted maximum temperature is 27℃ in central Tokyo and 26℃ in Nagoya. Today, the 24th (Wednesday), the temperature will remain almost the same, so tomorrow, the 25th (Thursday), it will be around 10 degrees Celsius higher than today. The number of summer sun spots is expected to increase rapidly from China and Shikoku to the Kanto region.

Many people’s bodies are still not used to the heat, so they need to be careful about sudden heat. It’s a good idea to drink plenty of water and take breaks in cool places. Please be careful about heat stroke, such as talking to the elderly and small children who are sensitive to heat more than usual.

Golden Week begins this weekend, but we need to be careful about the heat.
On the 27th (Saturday), the start of the holidays, there will be widespread rain and the heat will subside, but from the 28th (Sunday) onwards, the summer weather will continue west of the Kanto region.

When going out, be sure to have heat stroke prevention gear such as a hat and parasol to protect yourself from direct sunlight, and make sure to stay hydrated. In a car, where the temperature tends to rise in a short period of time, take precautions against the heat by ensuring good ventilation and using the air conditioner appropriately.

When spending time outdoors in the heat, such as during summer leisure activities, it is useful to have the following items to prevent heatstroke.

① Prepare a drink (water, sports drink, etc.) in a plastic bottle or water bottle so that you can rehydrate as soon as you notice. Also, if you have salt tablets or candy containing salt, you can easily replenish the salt you lose through sweating.
② Use a parasol or hat to block the heat of the sun. On sunny days, the temperature is higher closer to the ground, so shorter children will be surrounded by hotter air than adults. In addition, wearing a hat not only protects you from heat stroke, but also protects you from UV rays. Remove your hat from time to time to allow sweat to evaporate. Furthermore, when you are doing leisure activities in places where there is no shade, such as on the coast, you can create shade by having a sunshade tent.
③ Fans, fans, and portable fans are also recommended. The cool breeze can cool your body.
④ Make good use of cooling goods such as cooling sheets. Neck coolers cool down your neck, where large blood vessels run close to the surface of your body, allowing you to cool down efficiently. Also, if you have ice packs or ice, you can wrap yourself in a towel and apply it to your body (neck, armpits, base of thighs, etc.) to cool yourself down. Alternatively, if you have a scarf or bandana, you can wet it with water and wrap it around your neck or head.When the water evaporates, it absorbs the heat from the surrounding area, which can lower your body temperature.

To prevent heatstroke, you should not only prepare heatstroke prevention goods, but also take frequent breaks in a cool place, and ask each other questions such as “Are you drinking water?” and “You should take a break.” Don’t forget that either.
