“…Most cities are affected by a large heat island effect, registering 5℃ to 11℃ warmer than the surrounding rural areas [ 12 ]. We could not find a positive change in air temperature at Showa base in Antarctica [ 4 ] or Hachijo Island [ 3 ] in our previous reports. However, in this study, we observed positive and significant changes in air temperature in all of the 47 prefectures of Japan.…”

“…We have also previously shown that the estimated change in mean air temperature was 1.8℃ for 50 years in the Takamatsu area of Kagawa prefecture, Japan [ 2 ]. However, we were not able to show the presence of the global warming at Showa base in Antarctica [ 4 ] or Hachijo Island [ 3 ]. Therefore, accurate evaluation of changes in air temperature is urgently required in various sites in Japan.…”

ObjectivesChanges in air temperature and its relation to ambulance transports due to heat stroke in all 47 prefectures, in Japan were evaluated.MethodsData on air temperature were obtained from the Japanese Meteorological Agency. Data on ambulance transports due to heat stroke was directly obtained from the Fire and Disaster Management Agency, Japan. We also used the number of deaths due to heat stroke from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, Japan, and population data from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. Chronological changes in parameters of air temperature were analyzed. In addition, the relation between air temperature and ambulance transports due to heat stroke in August 2010 was also evaluated by using an ecological study.ResultsPositive and significant changes in the parameters of air temperature that is, the mean air temperature, mean of the highest air temperature, and mean of the lowest air temperature were noted in all 47 prefectures. In addition, changes in air temperature were accelerated when adjusted for observation years. Ambulance transports due to heat stroke was significantly correlated with air temperature in the ecological study. The highest air temperature was significantly linked to ambulance transports due to heat stroke, especially in elderly subjects.ConclusionsGlobal warming was demonstrated in all 47 prefectures in Japan. In addition, the higher air temperature was closely associated with higher ambulance transports due to heat stroke in Japan.

“…For example, in Takamatsu area, Japan, an increase in 1.8˚C in mean air temperature was noted for 50 years. However, we could not prove the global warming at Showa base in Antarctica [3] and Hachijo island [1]. In addition, higher air temperature was closely associated with higher total ambulance transports in Japan [4,5].…”

We evaluated the climate change in Wakkanai area, which is located at most northern part and typically rural area in Japan. Climate parameters i.e. atmospheric pressure, air temperature, humidity, velocity, daylight hours and snow fall were obtained from Japan Meteorological Agency. Positive changes in parameters in air temperature, especially mean of the lowest air temperature (r = 0.508, p < 0.0001) were noted. In addition, parameters of air temperature in January were significantly and positively correlated with years. However, atmospheric pressure (land) and mean velocity were negatively correlated with years. Global warming was also proved at Wakkanai area, especially in winter, in Japan

“…However, global warming was not proved at Showa base in Antarctica. In addition, the number of days of over 4˚C in January was negatively correlated with years (r = -0.427, p = 0.0053) [6]. Therefore, whether an increase in air temperatures is actually increasing in the world remains to be investigated.…”

The changes in air temperatures on Mount (Mt.) Fuji, Japan were evaluated. Various parameters of air temperatures on Mt. Fuji in Japan were obtained from Japan Metrological Agency. Parameters of air temperatures were positively correlated with years on Mt. Fuji. In addition, the number of days under -24˚C in January was negatively correlated with years. Global warming was also proved on Mt. Fuji in Japan, especially in winter. Therefore, we need to deal with global warming effect.
