Tokyo just turned up the heat—literally. The city recorded a historic 10 straight days of temperatures soaring above 35°C (95°F), shattering a record that’s stood since 1875! 🥵 The previous streak? Nine days in 2022. Looks like 2024 is here to make its mark.
The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) isn’t playing around with warnings. They’re urging everyone to blast those ACs (responsibly, of course), chug water like it’s a TikTok challenge, and keep electrolytes handy to avoid heatstroke. Hydration nation, assemble! 💧
But wait—there’s a plot twist. While Tokyo fries, parts of eastern and western Japan might get drenched. The JMA says thunderstorms and heavy rain could hit due to unstable atmospheric conditions. Talk about mood swings! ⛈️
Pro tip for travelers: Pack sunscreen and an umbrella. This weather’s serving drama hotter than a K-drama finale. 🌂☀️
