"High temperature caution information" calling for measures against heat stroke has been renamed to "heat stroke warning alert" and will be operated nationwide from the 28th.
Since it reflects humidity etc., it will be announced in a situation where there is a higher risk of heat stroke, and the Japan Meteorological Agency and the Ministry of the Environment are requesting that all measures be taken when information is provided.
The Japan Meteorological Agency has released "High Temperature Warning Information" when the maximum temperature is expected to be 35 degrees or higher, but the problem is that the humidity, which greatly affects heat stroke, is not reflected.
For this reason, in collaboration with the Ministry of the Environment, we decided to create new information called "heat stroke warning alert" using the "heat index" that reflects humidity and solar radiation, and operate it nationwide from 5 pm on the 28th. became.
The "heat stroke warning alert" was operated on a trial basis in Kanto Koshin last summer, and when the information was released, there was a tendency for more heat stroke carriers to be carried.
The frequency of announcements is expected to be about two-thirds of the previous "high temperature caution information", and the Japan Meteorological Agency said, "Because it will be announced in a situation where the risk of heat stroke is higher than before, it will be perfect if information is released. I want you to take measures against. "
