As September begins, this would typically be the season when we start to feel the first hints of autumn, but this year, the intense heat persists. According to TBS NEWS DIG, "heatstroke alerts" have been issued across a wide area from southern Tohoku to Kyushu, and in northern Japan, vigilance against heavy rain disasters is also increasing.

 

For those planning trips or business travel, this unstable weather is a major concern. Therefore, this time, we will discuss how to prepare for changes in the natural environment such as "extreme heat" and "sudden torrential downpours," and introduce New Trip suitcases that can help you with these preparations.

Risks and Countermeasures for Traveling in Extreme Heat

Title

Even in September, with scorching days exceeding 30 degrees Celsius continuing, the biggest concern for travelers spending long periods outdoors is heatstroke. It's not uncommon for people to get caught up exploring tourist spots and suddenly find themselves feeling unwell.

 

Preventing Heatstroke While Traveling

  • Make an effort to rest in the shade
  • Choose breathable clothing
  • Allow ample time in your itinerary and avoid over-scheduling
  • Avoid direct sunlight: Refrain from going out between 11 AM and 3 PM, and protect your neck with a UV-cut hat.
  • Hydrate and replenish salt: Drink 200ml every hour. Carry salt candy.
  • Portable fan: Lower your perceived temperature by 5°C with an Anker portable fan.

Even by simply being mindful of these habits, the strain on your body will be significantly reduced.

How to Prepare for Sudden Downpours and Typhoons

Title

On the other hand, this year the risk of disasters caused by heavy rain and typhoons is increasing, particularly in northern Japan. If you encounter sudden heavy rain while traveling, your clothes and luggage can get soaked, potentially ruining the rest of your trip.

In such situations, "waterproofing measures" are crucial. While bringing rain gear and a rain cover is a given, it's also extremely convenient if your suitcase itself has a "feature for storing wet items separately."

 

Heavy Rain Preparedness

  • Weather Apps: Check weather and JR operation info on Yahoo! Weather and tenki.jp.
  • Waterproof Goods: Protect your smartphone with a waterproof pouch. Prepare a folding umbrella.
  • Waterproof Suitcase: Essential as a foundation to protect your belongings.

Emergency Packing List for Travelers

Title

When traveling during heatwaves or heavy rains, the right items can be a lifesaver. We've carefully selected and compiled a practical "Emergency Packing List" in a checklist format. This will ensure peace of mind whether you're on a business trip, family vacation, or solo adventure!

Traveler's Emergency Packing List

  • Electrolyte Drinks: Essential for preventing heatstroke. In extreme heat, you lose water and salt through sweat, so aim for 200-300ml per hour. Easily available at convenience stores; carry at least two 500ml bottles. If traveling with children, consider low-sugar options for them.
  • Wide-Brimmed Hat: Protects from direct sunlight. A hat that covers the back of your neck is fundamental for UV protection. Lightweight hats are foldable and can fit into a business bag. Don't forget hats for children on family trips.
  • Portable Fan: An essential item for lowering perceived temperature in heat exceeding 35℃. USB-rechargeable fans are lightweight and useful while waiting for trains or sightseeing. Choosing one with adjustable airflow is convenient.
  • Folding Umbrella: Be prepared for sudden downpours with a lightweight and wind-resistant umbrella. Folding umbrellas are compact and can always be kept in your bag. For solo travel, a rain coat that allows for easy movement is also recommended.
  • Waterproof Bag: Protects smartphones, cameras, and wallets from water damage. Sealable waterproof bags are durable and can be used in different sizes. Protect electronic devices individually.
  • Waterproof Suitcase: The foundation for protecting all your belongings. TPU waterproof processing will protect clothes and PCs even from sudden downpours in Kyoto.
  • Mobile Battery: Essential when charging spots are unavailable due to rain or when smartphone batteries drain quickly in extreme heat. Lightweight models of 10,000mAh can charge a smartphone 2-3 times.
  • Basic First Aid Kit (Band-Aids, Fever Reducer, Motion Sickness Medicine): A compact kit to prepare for minor injuries or early symptoms of heatstroke. For family trips, add motion sickness medicine for children.
