Dialogue

This dialogue is fictional and based on the article.

Log: Did you know that the average temperature in June has reached an all-time high recently?
Chako: Really?! How much higher was it?
Log: It was 2.34 degrees higher than usual.
Chako: That much?! We need to be careful not to get heatstroke.
Navi: To prevent heatstroke, it’s important to stay hydrated and take breaks in cool places.
Chako: And we should also use hats and umbrellas!
Log: That’s right, especially since it’s a time when we need to be extra cautious.
Chako: I’ll be careful too!

Admin’s Note

It’s surprising that the average temperature in June has reached its highest level since 1898. As we head into the hot season, measures to prevent heatstroke will become increasingly important. It’s especially necessary to stay hydrated and take appropriate breaks. From the conversation between Chako and Log, we can see a natural opportunity to think about heatstroke prevention, which is important for raising awareness of this issue among the younger generation. This would be a great time to discuss heatstroke prevention with those around you.
