Japanese weather authorities warn the public of the potential for continuous heavy rains during the upcoming three-day holiday weekend. The weather phenomenon is predicted to affect a wide range of regions across the country. Authorities advise the public to stay vigilant, heed local advisories and forecasts, and prepare for possible emergencies such as flash flooding and landslides.

In Japan, people highly respect nature's power and the potential damage that can be caused by harsh weather conditions. Thus, the public generally takes weather advisories seriously. The government provides frequent updates and ensures readiness to deal with potential disasters. The local communities are usually prepared, demonstrating a concerted social effort with respect to disaster management.

In the US or EU, weather warning systems are also implemented in advance of severe weather events. However, in Japan, the general public's adherence to these warnings and preparedness measures tends to be higher due to a long history of weather-related disasters.
