This summer is expected to be "hotter than normal
According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, this summer (June through August) is expected to be hotter than normal. In addition, due to the La Niña phenomenon, in which sea surface temperatures near the equator off the coast of Peru are lower than normal, the possibility cannot be denied that this year's summer will be even hotter than last summer, which was the hottest in recorded history.
Heat stroke is something to watch out for. Children, in particular, are more susceptible to heat stroke than adults due to their immature body temperature control functions, so they need to be more careful. It is important to acquire the correct knowledge about heat stroke and practice countermeasures in daily life.
Protecting Children! Kids Doctor supports medical supervision of the "Heat Stroke Prevention" special website.
(Head office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Kodai Tabita), which operates the "Kids Doctor" online medical application for children, has endorsed the "Protecting Children and Preventing Heat Stroke" initiative promoted by F.O. International Co! (Head Office: Kobe, Hyogo, Japan; President: Hideki Hata), and supervised the medical information on the special website. We hope that the site will help to expand knowledge about heat stroke among children and help them to practice heat stroke countermeasures.
