TOKYO, Aug 2 — Japan sweltered through its hottest July since records began in 1898, the weather agency has reported, warning of further “severe heat” in the month ahead.<\/p>\n

Heatwaves are becoming more intense and frequent the world over because of human-caused climate change, scientists say, and Japan is no exception.<\/p>\n

The average temperature in July was up a record 2.89 degrees Celsius from the 1991-2020 average for the month, the Japan Meteorological Agency said on Friday.<\/p>\n

It was the third year in a row of record-breaking average temperatures for July, it said.<\/p>\n

On July 30, Japan experienced its highest recorded temperature, a sizzling 41.2 degrees Celsius in the western region of Hyogo.<\/p>\n

“The next month is expected to continue to bring severe heat throughout the country,” the weather agency said.<\/p>\n

Precipitation in July was low over wide areas of Japan, with northern regions facing the Sea of Japan experiencing record low rainfall, it added.<\/p>\n

The rainy season ended about three weeks earlier than usual in western regions of Japan, another record.<\/p>\n

Experts warn Japan’s beloved cherry trees are blooming earlier due to the warmer climate or sometimes not fully blossoming because autumns and winters are not cold enough to trigger flowering.<\/p>\n

The famous snowcap of Mount Fuji was absent for the longest recorded period last year, not appearing until early November, compared with the average of early October. — AFP<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
