Though a high of 38 degrees Celsius (100.4 F) had been predicted for today, I heard on the news that the actually temperature in Kumamoto City was only (!) 36.5 C (97.7 F). This hot weather can be dangerous. In order to avoid heatstroke you should get plenty to drink and avoid exerting yourself in the sun for extended periods of time. – Kirk
