This summer’s intense heat resulted in record-breaking average temperatures across all of Fukuoka Prefecture in August, with Fukuoka City recording an average of 30.5°C. Dazaifu City saw a new national record with 40 consecutive days of “extremely hot days” above 35°C. High-pressure conditions contributed to these temperatures, and the Japan Meteorological Agency warns that above-average temperatures are expected to continue for the next three months, urging precautions against heatstroke.
