Saitama Kumagaya August 10th 15:24 at the event where citizens can experience the harsh heat with water.
Last year, in Kumagaya City, Saitama Prefecture, which is known for the severe heat that observed 41 degrees 1 minute, the highest temperature in the country in the history of observation, an event was held for citizens to experience watering.
Kumagaya City is known for its severe summer heat, such as observing 41 degrees 1 minute, the highest in the country's observation history last July. On the 10th, local citizen groups enjoyed a cool feeling. To get it, we held an event to experience watering in the city.
Of these, in the vicinity of Hoshikawa, which flows through the center of the city, rainwater and groundwater collected by local family members were sprayed and sprinkled according to the shout.
At the venue, local university students measured the surface temperature of the road after watering, confirming the effect of watering, including a 15 degree drop in temperature.
At other events, children during the summer vacation took a tub and went down the river in Hoshikawa, and entered the river to catch fish and felt the coolness of the moment.
In Kumagaya City on the 10th, the temperature rose due to strong sunlight, and the highest temperature during the day exceeded 35 degrees, making it a hot day for 14 consecutive days.
The local man who participated said, “I felt a little cool with the slashing water. Kumagaya is so hot that I would be happy if it was a little cool.”
