Development Background 1: Intensifying Summer Heat in Japan Due to Global Warming In recent years, Japan has seen a significant rise in summer temperatures, with extreme heat posing health risks and impacting living environments, becoming a major social issue. By 2025, days with temperatures exceeding 35°C are expected to be observed nationwide, with prolonged periods of high temperatures. Furthermore, starting April 2026, a new indicator, "Extreme Heat Day," will be introduced to signify days with a high risk of heatstroke, further increasing the importance of heat countermeasures.
