Japan is set to experience extreme temperatures as weather forecasts predict that the Kanto region, among other areas, could see temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius.

In Japan, extreme heat waves are of great concern, especially during the summer. Due to the country's high population density, particularly in urban areas like the Kanto region, heatwaves can pose serious health risks, including heatstroke. During these times, people are advised to stay hydrated, avoid unnecessary outdoor activities and use air conditioning. This issue is tightly aligned with the country's overall efforts to combat climate change.

Like Japan, both the US and EU face their own challenges with regards to extreme weather, including heatwaves. However, the intensity and frequency of these events can differ greatly due to geographical and climate differences. For instance, certain areas in the southwest U.S. are known for high summer temperatures, while many EU countries, especially those in the Mediterranean region, also experience heatwaves. Guidelines and approaches to cope with extreme heat are fairly similar, ensuring safety and health of the citizens.
