At 9:48 p.m., the Japan Meteorological Agency announced a meteorological disaster prevention bulletin called ``Large Prediction for Linear Precipitation Bands,'' stating that there is an increasing possibility that a linear precipitation band will occur within three hours in southern Tochigi and Gunma prefectures. A "linear precipitation belt" is a phenomenon in which a series of developed cumulonimbus clouds bring heavy rain, and extremely heavy rain continues to fall in southern Tochigi and southern Gunma prefectures, potentially rapidly increasing the risk of life-threatening landslides and floods. The Japan Meteorological Agency urges people who are near cliffs or rivers to check evacuation information from local governments and check the surrounding situation.
