Japanese authorities have issued “heatstroke alerts” across various regions, urging the Chinese Embassy in Japan to remind travelers to be cautious about their travel safety.

According to the WeChat public account of the Chinese Embassy in Japan, recently, over 100 observation points in Japan have recorded temperatures above 35°C, and many areas have air humidity exceeding 65%, making it difficult for sweat to evaporate, thereby further exacerbating the risk of heatstroke. The Meteorological Agency of Japan and the Ministry of the Environment have issued “Heatstroke Alerts” warning the public to avoid going out during high-temperature weather.
In light of this, the Chinese Embassy in Japan reminds all compatriots and visitors:
1. Arrange your travel plans reasonably. Pay attention to weather forecasts, and if possible, avoid going out during high-temperature periods. Timely open air conditioning indoors or seek refuge in places with air conditioning to cool down. Do not set indoor air conditioners too low; pay attention to temperature differences when entering and exiting to prevent catching a cold or “air conditioning disease.”
2. If you must go out, take precautions against heatstroke. Avoid going out during peak noon hours to avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight. Timely replenish fluids and electrolytes. Wear loose, breathable clothing, carry common anti-heat measures such as Huoxiang Zhengqi Water and Qingling Oil, and use sun umbrellas and sun hats.
3. If you experience symptoms of mild heatstroke, such as dizziness, nausea, sweating, tinnitus, flushed face, etc., immediately leave the high-temperature environment to a cooler and ventilated place, take cooling measures, and seek medical attention if necessary.
