Today, Saturday the 7th: Dry air across the Pacific side of Eastern Japan — risks to watch out for and how to prepare

2026/11/07 18:03

Today, Saturday the 7th, a "winter-type" pressure pattern has set in. While the Pacific side of eastern and western Japan enjoyed clear skies, the air has become dry across a wide area. In the Kanto-Koshin region, humidity levels in some areas have dropped below 30%. As we move into this season, it is important to remain vigilant regarding both personal health and disaster prevention.

Increased viral activity and weakened mucosal defenses
When humidity falls below 40%, viruses such as those that cause influenza or norovirus can remain airborne for longer periods. Furthermore, as the mucous membranes in the nose and throat dry out, the body's ability to expel invading viruses is compromised.

Internal dehydration
In winter, when we sweat less, we may not feel thirsty, making it easy to fall into a state of "hidden winter dehydration" without even realizing it. Sleeping with heating appliances turned on can further lower room humidity, leading to additional fluid loss from the body. Additionally, the skin's moisture-retention capacity and protective barrier function decline, which can cause itching and skin irritation; therefore, conscious hydration and moisturizing are essential.

Fire risks
Prolonged dry conditions cause materials like wood, tatami mats, and dry grass to lose their moisture, significantly increasing the risk of fire. Fires can be caused by more than just the improper disposal of cigarettes or the misuse of heating equipment (such as kerosene or electric heaters). Another potential cause is the "tracking phenomenon"-where dust that has accumulated around electrical outlets absorbs moisture, leading to ignition. During the colder months, condensation can cause dust to become damp, so extra caution is advised.

Summary
As the air becomes drier in the coming season, the risks of health issues and fires increase. Stay safe and comfortable during this dry period by keeping indoor air humidified, staying well-hydrated, and regularly checking potential fire hazards-such as heat sources and electrical outlets.
