Broiling temperatures in Japan saw the mercury hit a record 41 degrees Celsius yesterday, after at least nine people died from heatstroke over the weekend.
Another heat wave last month claimed at least a dozen lives.
Japan’s record temperature yesterday was registered in Shimanto, a Pacific coast city on the western island of Shikoku, the Japan Meteorological Agency said. It broke the old high of 40.9 degrees Celsius set in August 2007.
