Original title: Japanese local government urges men to take umbrellas

Japan continues to have hot summer weather recently. On the 4th, West Japan and East Japan are still sunny and hot. The highest temperature in many places is around 38 degrees Celsius. It is expected that some areas will be hotter today (5th).

In the face of the scorching sun, some local government officials began to persuade men to take umbrellas instead of getting sunburned or even heatstroke because they were worried about being feminine.

In Japan, when the temperature reaches above 35 ℃, it is called "fierce heat". According to the current weather forecast, the "fierce heat" in most parts of Japan has not subsided.

Saitama Prefecture, north of Tokyo, was one of the hardest hit areas for this round of hot weather. The highest temperature in Kumagawa City, Saitama Prefecture, reached 41.1 degrees Celsius last week, setting a new record for the highest temperature in Japan.

It is estimated that the temperature in Xionggu city will reach 39 ℃ on the 5th, that is, today.

Saitama county government recently launched a "sunshade campaign" to persuade men to take sunshades to avoid direct sunlight and reduce the risk of heatstroke. An official of Saitama county government said, "in the past, I thought sunshades were exclusive to women, but now I realize that sunshades can really cool people a lot - in this temperature, there are still men and women, and heatstroke prevention is the most important.".

However, some men still stubbornly believe that parachuting is not a man's work, and the so-called stigma is more worrying than heatstroke - they are more willing to wear a hat or sunscreen than sunshade.

So at present, it is rare for men to take umbrellas on the streets of many places in Japan. Of course, they can only bear the taste of being directly exposed to the hot sun.
