Due to the influence of humid air, Tochigi and Gunma prefectures have experienced record-breaking heavy rains that exceeded initial predictions. The Hatagawa River, which flows through Sano City and Ashikaga City, Tochigi Prefecture, has been flooded, and an ``emergency safety order'' has been issued for areas along the river. Strict vigilance is required to prevent landslides, flooding of low-lying areas, and river flooding.
