Japan sweats through hottest July on record
A vendor, selling Japanese lantern plants, wears a towel on her head to cope with the heatwave at the Hozuki-Ichi (Japanese lantern plant fair) at Sensoji temple, in Tokyo, Japan, July 10, 2025. REUTERS/Kim Kyung-Hoon TOKYO, Japan — Japan sweltered through its hottest July since records began in 1898, the weather agency has reported, warning of further "severe heat" in the month ahead. Heatwaves are becoming more intense and frequent the world over because of human-caused climate change, scientists say, and Japan is no exception. The average temperature in July was up a record 2.89C from the 1991-2020 average for the month, the Japan Meteorological Agency said on Friday. It was the third year in a row of record-breaking average temperatures for July, it said. On July 30, Japan experienced its highest recorded temperature, a sizzling 41.2C in the western region of Hyogo. "The next month is expected to continue to bring severe heat throughout the country," the weather agency said. Precipitation in July was low over wide areas of Japan, with northern regions facing the Sea of Japan experiencing record low rainfall, it added. The rainy season ended about three weeks earlier than usual in western regions of Japan, another record. Experts warn Japan's beloved cherry trees are blooming earlier due to the warmer climate or sometimes not fully blossoming because autumns and winters are not cold enough to trigger flowering. The famous snowcap of Mount Fuji was absent for the longest recorded period last year, not appearing until early November, compared with the average of early October. — Agence France-Presse

Warehouses still full of rice buffer stocks —NFA
The National Food Authority (NFA) on Saturday said that warehouses across the country remain full of rice buffer stocks, despite the series of storms that hit the country last week. "Hindi pa din substantially nabababawasn ang ating stock sa mga bodega," said NFA Administrator Larry Lacson in an interview on Super Radyo dzBB. (Our stock in the warehouses has not been substantially reduced.) "Even dumating ang mga bagyo lahat yan ay pinaghahandaan natin. Meron man na-damage dalawa lang. Sa Alaminos, Pangasinan at isa naman sa La Union," added Lacson. (Even when the typhoons hit, we were prepared for them. There were only two that were damaged: one in Alaminos, Pangasinan, and one in La Union.) Lacson also said that the NFA has enough stocks to last for 12 days. That amounts to 452,000 of palay or around 9 million sacks of rice. "Sa kadahilanan na ang pumpasok na mga palay na binibili natin sa magsasaka ay mas madami kesa dun sa mga lumalabas na bigas natin," said Lacson. (That's because the amount of rice we buy from farmers is more than the amount of rice we export.) Meanwhile, the NFA administrator also bared plans of putting up Kadiwa stores in every NFA warehouse soon. Lacson said that this will also benefit farmers, as they could now go to more places to sell their palay. "Sa mga warehouse mismo ni NFA maglalagay ang DA ng kadiwa ng Panagulo. Umpisa po sa Region 1 and Region 3, they slowly, rollout po sa other regions," explained Lacson. (The DA will place Kadiwa stores in NFA warehouses. It will first open in Region 1 and Reg 3.) A total of 7,685,943 people or 2,121,645 families have been affected by Tropical Cyclones Crising, Dante, Emong, and the Southwest Monsoon or Habagat in all regions except Eastern Visayas. The region with the most number of affected individuals was Central Luzon with 2,820,250. The extent of damage from Tropical Cyclones Crising, Dante, Emong, and the Southwest Monsoon or Habagat was reported at P10,080,789,951 for infrastructure, P1,961,211,507 for agriculture, P281,660,000 for irrigation systems. —VAL, GMA Integrated News
