On the 18th, Japan was once again under the tyranny of an exceptionally hot weather, with temperatures in Kyushu and San'in regions exceeding 35°C. Residents are taking drastic measures to protect against the heat in these entirely vulnerable regions. Timely issuances of weather forecasts and heat warnings are aiming to reduce heatstroke incidences, safeguard public health, and ensure that residents are informed and prepared.

In Japan, extreme heat caused by global climate change is a significant concern, often triggering heatstroke warnings. Residents and authorities are vigilant to its effects, with a focus on prevention through early response measures and public communication strategies. Regular weather forecasting and public alerts about heat are key tools for informing the public, promoting self-care, and preparing emergency services.

Similar to Japan, the US and EU also face heatwave challenges, especially considering the current global climate change scenario. They handle it similarly through early warning systems, public alerts, and providing necessary cooling and medical facilities. However, the societal importance of heat-related precautions might be less emphasized compared to Japan, where heat preparedness is more ingrained into daily lifestyle strategies.
