Japan Sets Record High Temperatures, Rice Crop Worries Mount

Japan Sets Record High Temperatures, Rice Crop Worries Mount

Japan is experiencing record-high temperatures, with the hottest day ever recorded at 41.8 degrees Celsius.

This heat is making people sick, and the government is advising people to stay inside.

The high temperatures and lack of rain are also hurting the rice crops, which is a major food source in Japan.

Last year's extreme heat caused a rice shortage and high prices.

The government is now taking action to help farmers by providing support to control pests and manage the drought to prevent further damage to the rice harvest.
