Summary

From July 18 to 20, during the three-day holiday, people in the Kanto region to Kyushu need to be cautious of sudden thunderstorms and extreme heat.

In particular, heavy rainfall that may reach warning levels is expected in Hokkaido, and rain and thunderstorms are forecasted in northern Tohoku as well. While there will be some sunny intervals in the Kanto to Kyushu regions, localized heavy rain is possible, so caution is advised for potential road flooding. Additionally, with the ongoing extreme heat, measures against heat-related illnesses are also important.

Chako: Hey Log, I’m worried about the weather during the long weekend! I wonder if there will be thunderstorms or heat. What do you think?
Log: Yeah, it looks like there might be sudden thunderstorms, especially from Kanto to Kyushu. Hokkaido is expecting heavy rain, and it might rain in Tohoku too.
Chako: Really? That means we might not be able to play outside…
Navi: That’s true; there’s a high chance of localized heavy rainfall. We should also be careful about road flooding.
Log: Right, and the heat will continue, so we need to watch out for heatstroke as well.
Chako: So staying hydrated and wearing hats are really important, huh?

Admin’s Note

During long holidays, many people plan outings, but weather conditions can sometimes limit their activities. It’s especially important to check forecasts for thunderstorms or heavy rain in advance and take necessary precautions. As Chako mentioned, when planning outdoor activities, it’s essential to check the weather carefully and enjoy yourself within safe boundaries. Additionally, we should not forget to take measures against heatstroke so we can have a fun and enjoyable holiday.
