The ongoing harsh heatwave in Japan shows no signs of relenting, while northern Tohoku is now facing a flood warning due to expected heavy rainfall. The sudden shift from extreme heat to intense rainfall is a manifestation of climate change and is causing serious concerns within the Meteorological agency. The local authorities are urging vigilance among the residents, especially the elderly and those living in vulnerable areas, and are making efforts to minimize the potential damage caused by the dual threats of heatwave and rainfall.

Japan's response to weather disasters illustrates their dedication to safety and protection of life. Citizens are urged to use cooling measures against the heat and to evacuate without delay in case of flood warnings. Public broadcasts and information boards alert citizens with real-time updates.

In the US and the EU, like Japan, there are weather alerts and emergency broadcasts informing citizens of weather disruptions. However, Japan's meteorological warnings are highly localized and detailed due to the country's history of unpredictable weather patterns, whereas in the US and EU, due to larger area and diverse regional climates, warnings are often issued on a broader scale.
