Admin’s Note

As Kyushu faces expected severe heat, it is essential to take measures against heatstroke. Children and the elderly, in particular, have difficulty regulating their body temperature and require support from those around them. Regular hydration and breaks are key to maintaining health. Many areas are also experiencing the end of the rainy season, but the lingering humidity combined with the heat can be taxing on the body. Let’s all make sure to take proper precautions and enjoy a comfortable summer.
