Tokyo has been roasting under a serious heatwave: the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) confirmed the city just logged its 10th straight day above 35°C—an all-time record since records began in 1875! 🥵🔥
Why it matters: the previous peak was nine days in 2022, so this new streak shows just how intense summer is getting in one of Asia’s busiest capitals. Whether you’re racing through Shibuya or grabbing ramen in Akihabara, you’ve probably felt that extra wave of heat.
Heat safety tips: use your aircon wisely, sip water and electrolyte drinks regularly, wear breathable fabrics, and avoid outdoor workouts during peak hours. Heatstroke happens when your body overheats—so take breaks, find shade, and listen to your body! 💧😎
Heads up: the JMA also warns that with warm, damp air rolling in, parts of eastern and western Japan could see localized heavy rain and thunderstorms from Wednesday afternoon. Plan for sudden downpours and lightning if you’re out and about. 🌧️⚡
From navigating the Yamanote line to weekend city escapes, stay cool, stay safe, and keep that summer vibe alive—just with extra water breaks! 💦
