日本周二首次记录到官方定义的"酷热日"，中部多个城市气温超过40摄氏度12。美浓市和丰田市分别达到40摄氏度和40.1摄氏度，均创造了各自气象站的历史新高1。多治见市气温也达到40摄氏度2。
日本气象厅于4月引入"kokushobi"（酷热日）这一新术语，用以指代气温超过40摄氏度的日子，作为向公众警示极端高温危害的措施12。
这轮高温造成了严重的健康影响。东京火力部门报告周二有287人因中暑入院，年龄从3岁到103岁，创下今年以来的最高纪录2。当局已在40多个都道府县发布中暑警报2。日本914个观测点中近300个周二录得"极度炎热日"（气温超过35摄氏度）2。
根据去年的数据，日本全国最高气温纪录为41.8摄氏度2。去年职场中暑人数达1803人，其中19人死亡2。专家指出，曾经罕见的极端高温事件现已变得更加普遍1。
Japan experienced its first official "cruelly hot day" on Tuesday, with three central cities recording temperatures at or exceeding 40 degrees Celsius. 12 The cities of Mino, Tajimi, and Toyota all reached the threshold, with Mino and Toyota setting new record highs for their respective weather stations at 40°C and 40.1°C. 1
The term "kokushobi"—literally meaning "cruelly hot day"—was introduced by Japan's Meteorological Agency in April to alert the public to the dangers of extreme heat. 12 Of Japan's 914 observation points, nearly 300 recorded what is classified as an "extremely hot day," defined as temperatures exceeding 35 degrees Celsius, on Tuesday. 2
The severe heat has already taken a toll on public health. Tokyo's fire department reported 287 people were hospitalized for heat stroke on Tuesday, the highest number recorded so far this year, with ages ranging from 3 to 103 years old. 2 More than 40 prefectures have issued heat stroke warnings in response to the conditions. 2
The situation reflects a broader pattern of intensifying heat events in Japan. Last year, the country recorded a peak temperature of 41.8°C in Isesaki City, and workplace heat-related illnesses reached 1,803 cases, of which 19 were fatal. 2 What were once rare weather anomalies have become increasingly common occurrences. 1
