More than 120 people died of heatstroke in Tokyo in July, Japanese authorities said on Tuesday. The nation&#8217;s average temperature hit record highs and heat warnings were in effect much of the month. According to the Tokyo Medical Examiner&#8217;s Office, many of the 123 people who died were elderly. All but two were found dead indoors, and most were not using air conditioners despite having them installed.<\/p>\n<p>Japanese health authorities and weather forecasters repeatedly advised people to stay indoors, consume ample liquids to avoid dehydration and use air conditioning, because elderly people often think that air conditioning is not good for one&#8217;s health and tend to avoid using it.<\/p>\n<p>It was the largest number of heatstroke deaths in Tokyo&#8217;s 23 metropolitan districts in July since 127 deaths were recorded during a 2018 heatwave, the medical examiner&#8217;s office said. More than 37,000 people were treated at hospitals for heatstroke across Japan from 1-28 July, according to the Fire and Disaster Management Agency. The average temperature in July was 2.16 degrees Celsius higher than the average over the past 30 years, making it the hottest July since the Japan Meteorological Agency began keeping records in 1898.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, heatstroke warnings were in place in much of Tokyo and western Japan. The temperature rose to about 34C in downtown Tokyo, where many people carried parasols or handheld fans. \u201cI feel every year the hot period is getting longer,\u201d said Hidehiro Takano from Kyoto. \u201cI have the air con on all the time, including while I\u2019m sleeping. I try not to go outside.\u201d Maxime Picavet, a French tourist, showed a portable fan he bought in Tokyo. \u201cIt works very, very well,\u201d he said. \u201cWith this temperature, it&#8217;s a necessity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The meteorological agency predicted more heat in August, with temperatures of 35C or higher. \u201cPlease pay attention to temperature forecasts and heatstroke alerts and take adequate precautions to prevent heatstroke,\u201d it said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/08\/07\/every-year-the-hot-period-is-getting-longer-record-july-temperatures-kill-120-people-in-to\">Euronews Green<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/every-year-the-hot-period-is-getting-longer-record-july-temperatures-kill-120-people-in-tokyo\/\">\u2018Every year the hot period is getting longer\u2019: Record July temperatures kill 120 people in Tokyo<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[462,893,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-132860","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-climate-change","tag-japan","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132860","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132860"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132860\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132860"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132860"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
