Heavy rainfall is forecasted throughout Saturday - Beware of possible disasters

Precipitation forecast until noon of Saturday, July 1

On July 1, mainly over Kyushu and from the North to West of the Sea of Japan Coast, heavy rainfall with thunderstorms is expected over a wide area. Due to the rainfall up until now, there are areas with an increased likelihood of landslides even with small amounts of rainfall. If a linear precipitation zone develops, rainfall may increase locally, and strict precautions for landslides, flooding of low-lying areas, rising water levels, and overflowing rivers, especially in the Northern and Southern Kyushu area, are required. 


Signs of approaching cumulonimbus clouds

Also, everyone should watch out for severe wind gusts, including lightning strikes and tornadoes, as well as take shelter inside a building or follow other safety precautions if there are any signs of approaching cumulonimbus clouds. Since there are also possibilities of hailstorms, it is important to pay close attention to the crops and agricultural facilities.
