Japan has been in the grip of a rare rainy season heatwave that has left at least six people dead from heatstroke. Authorities set up “cooling shelters” around Tokyo on July 9, 2024, including at popular tourist spots in the capital such as Tokyo Tower. The shelters offer a refuge for people who must go outdoors despite the heatwave warnings. The number of deaths caused by heat exhaustion has increased significantly in recent years and officials are warning residents to avoid physical activity to avoid heatstroke.
