The Guardian reports:
An "unprecedented" heatwave in Japan has killed at least 65 people in one week, government officials have said, with the weather agency classifying the record-breaking weather as a natural disaster.
The deaths in the week to Sunday were due to heatstroke, while another 22,647 people were admitted to hospital, the Japanese fire and disaster management agency said.
[...] The agency said on Tuesday that 80 people had died from the heat since the beginning of the month, and more than 35,000 had been admitted to hospital.
[...] The city of Kumagaya set a national heat record on Monday, with temperatures hitting 41.1C (106F).
[...] The high temperatures follow record rainfall that caused floods and landslides in western and central Japan, killing more than 220 people.
[...] The extreme weather has revived concerns about the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, which will be held in July and August.
