On the July 7th broadcast, localized heavy rain was a hot topic. Well, this time, we have a quiz about "precipitation"!

The maximum precipitation amount ever observed in an hour was 153 mm! This is almost the same as a 15 cm ruler. Which of the following prefectures has this amount been observed in? The difficulty level is ★★★★☆ (4/5)!

  Correct answer

  The top 1 maximum hourly precipitation amounts are shown in the image below. The cases in Chiba and Nagasaki prefectures that recorded the highest precipitation amounts were both caused by heavy rainfall due to low pressure systems.
  

  The Japan Meteorological Agency issues disaster prevention information, clearly indicating five alert levels.
  

  In addition, when heavy rainfall that falls in a short period of time, such as that which occurs only once every few years, is observed and analyzed, "Record-breaking Short-Term Heavy Rainfall Information" is issued. In the areas where this information is issued, torrential rainfall that could lead to landslides, flooding, and flooding of small and medium-sized rivers is falling.

  The alert levelKikikuruPlease check information such as the risk distribution posted on the Japan Meteorological Agency's website and river conditions, and if you feel even the slightest bit of danger, evacuate to a safe place!
  

  Summer is in full swing and typhoon season is fast approaching, but if you know what to look out for, there's nothing to be afraid of. Use meteorological information, learn the right things, and prepare properly!

While studying medicine at university, I study weather, which I love, every day. Medicine and weather are two things that are close to us. My goal is to become a person who can connect these two fields. I look forward to the broadcast of "Okaeri Mone" every day. I would be honored if this project could help everyone understand the depth of weather.
