Tokyo Sizzles: Hottest September 18 on Record! 🔥
Who said summer was over? 🌞 Central Tokyo just shattered records by hitting a scorching 35.1°C on Wednesday, marking the hottest September 18 since records began in 1875! 😱
At just before noon, folks in Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward were feeling the heat as temperatures soared past the 35°C mark, officially making it an \"extremely hot day\" according to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA).
To put this in perspective, the previous record for the latest \"extremely hot day\" in Tokyo was set way back on September 12, 1942. Talk about making history! 📚
And it wasn't just Tokyo feeling the burn. Over in Nagoya, the thermometer climbed to a sizzling 36.4°C shortly after 1 p.m., setting their own record for the latest extreme heat. 🥵
So, what's up with this late-summer heatwave? While autumn vibes are on the horizon, it seems Mother Nature isn't ready to cool down just yet. Stay hydrated, crank up those fans, and maybe hold off on packing away your summer gear! 🍉🌴
