Sweltering temperatures across Japan have left at least three people dead and 3,000 others taken to hospital with heatstroke in the course of a week, officials said Wednesday. The state weather agency said temperatures topped 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit) in several places Wednesday, warning that similarly hot weather would "raise the danger of heatstroke" the next day.
The Fire and Disaster Management Agency said three people died from heatstroke last week while a total of 3,179 people were taken to hospital, rising from 2,473 a week earlier.
