Japan is very hot and humid now, with serious heat warnings. People should avoid hard work and go to cooling centers in Tokyo and nearby places. These centers, in places like community centers and libraries, have air conditioning to help people cool down. Hospitals are busy treating patients, including some who have died from heatstroke. Hisako Ichiuji, 60, said it was life-threatening when she visited a cooling center at Tokyo Tower. In Fukuoka, an 86-year-old farmer was found lifeless, surrounded by towels and water bottles. To meet the extra need for electricity, Japan’s biggest power company, JERA, is making more electricity and fixing broken plants. Tokyo’s main power company, TEPCO, bought more electricity too. Trade Minister Ken Saito said the government is watching closely to make sure there is enough electricity. The Agriculture Ministry said rice crops are damaged and fish catches, like salmon, are down because of the heat. Farmers and fishermen are preparing for more problems from the heat. Japan’s heatwave is causing health problems, electricity issues, and worries about farming and fishing. Officials are working hard to protect people and keep electricity stable during this tough time.
