Following the end of the Golden Week holidays, Japan is preparing for sudden thunderstorms and yellow dust. Meteorologists warn citizens to stay informed about weather updates as weather patterns show a high probability of unprecedented weather conditions. The country's weather department urges citizens to take necessary precautions against potential health risks associated with the dust and unexpected thunderstorms.
Japan gives high importance to natural disaster news due to the country's geographical location. Thunderstorms can often cause flash floods and landslides, posing great risks. Furthermore, the yellow dust, carried by winds from Mongolia and China's industrial regions, can induce respiratory problems and other health concerns. Citizens, therefore, are generally cooperative and vigilant regarding such warnings.
In the US or EU, weather warnings are also taken seriously. However, events like yellow dust are less common, with the focus more on hurricanes, heavy snowfall or heatwaves. Weather warnings are broadcast across all media channels, and citizens are urged to prepare and remain cautious, similar to Japan's approach.
