It was believed that around 4:20-30pm today, about 110mm of heavy rain was falling in Hiroshima and Shimane prefectures in an hour, and the Japan Meteorological Agency released a record short period of heavy rain.
In the Chugoku region, warm, humid air and rising daytime temperatures make the atmosphere extremely unstable. The rain clouds and thunder clouds that have developed overnight will continue to be prone to appearing, so even if the rain has subsided, you should not let your guard down.
In the Chugoku region, this is a common occurrence up tonight, with the Sanyo region where there could be a heavy rain of 80mm per hour, and the Sanin region where there could be a very heavy rain of 50mm per hour.
Please be careful of low-lying land flooding, rising rivers, landslides, etc.
In addition, in Hiroshima and Shimane prefectures, severe gusts of winds such as tornadoes are prone to occur, and the Japan Meteorological Agency has issued a tornado warning.
We will continue to be a weather situation where severe gusts of winds such as tornadoes will likely occur in the future, so please be careful about the situation in the sky.
If a tornado approaches,
If you are indoors, close the windows and curtains, move away from the window, or move to a room without a window, or get under a sturdy desk to protect your head.
If you are outdoors, it is important to hide behind the objects of a sturdy building and protect your head and neck.
It is dangerous to store sheds, garages, and prefabricated ones.
If there is no evacuation site, lie in the shade or ditch.
