Japan’s heatwave has gone off the charts! Over 10,000 people were hospitalized last week due to heatstroke — that’s double the number from the previous week! Yes, you read that right — ten thousand! Most victims are over 65 years old, ringing alarm bells for everyone. Japan’s meteorological agency announced that June temperatures hit the highest levels since records began in 1898. What’s causing this? A persistent high-pressure system over the Pacific and climate change slowly roasting us alive. This heatwave isn’t just a number; it’s a warning that the planet is burning while we pretend everything’s fine. Meteorologists warn July will be even hotter, so if you haven’t started dunking yourself in cold water and hunting for shade, now’s the time! Older people are the most vulnerable, and the healthcare system is stretched thin. Will we finally realize climate change isn’t some distant story but our daily reality? Or will we keep pretending it’s just another hot day? Got any cool tips to survive this hellish heat? Drop them in the comments — maybe your trick will save a life! Meanwhile, stay cool and drink plenty of water, because this summer is no joke.
