社会｜関東甲信で大雨警戒、梅雨明けも近い / Society | Heavy rain warning in the Kanto-Koshin region as the end of the rainy season approaches.

Summary

In the Kanto-Koshin region, we need to be on alert for heavy rain associated with the end of the rainy season until July 17.

During this period, rainfall is expected to increase, raising the risk of flooding in low-lying areas and underground facilities, as well as the potential for swollen rivers and landslides. The rainy season is predicted to end around the 18th, after which we can expect clear weather. However, be cautious of heatstroke during the long holiday weekend. Are you adequately prepared?

Log: Yeah, especially at the end of the rainy season, they say the rain can be dangerous, so we need to be careful.
Chako: There’s a risk of rivers swelling and landslides, right? That’s scary…
Navi: Yes, especially in low-lying areas and underground facilities, flooding is a concern. It’s important to be well-prepared.
Log: They say the rainy season will end around the 18th. It looks like it will clear up, but we need to make sure we’re ready before that.

Admin’s Note

The recent weather has been really unstable, hasn’t it? We need to be especially cautious about the heavy rains typical at the end of the rainy season. As Chako mentioned, it’s important to be prepared in advance. We should also regularly check the weather updates and take appropriate measures based on the situation. For those living in areas prone to heavy rainfall, it’s a good idea to identify evacuation locations early on for peace of mind. While we look forward to the clear skies that follow, let’s not forget to take precautions against heatstroke, too!
