Tokyo experienced a record 10 consecutive days of temperatures 35°C (>95°F) or above, the weather office said Wednesday, after the country sweltered through its hottest ever June and July.

This "is the first time since the survey started" in 1875 that such a run has been recorded, the Japan Meteorological Agency told AFP, saying that Wednesday marked the 10th day of the heat streak.

... It came after a town on the northern island of Hokkaido was deluged by a record level of rainfall on Tuesday, according to public broadcaster NHK.

Japan this year had its hottest June and July since data collection began in 1898 and in August the country logged its highest temperature ever, with the mercury hitting 41.8°C (107.2°F) in the central city of Isesaki.

Japan's summer last year was the joint hottest on record, equaling 2023, and was followed by the warmest autumn since records began 126 years ago.
