People in western and eastern Japan are advised to remain on alert for landslides in areas hit by heavy rain from the seasonal rain front.
The front has dropped record rainfall since Thursday, causing a series of landslides and flooding in the western prefecture of Yamaguchi and the northern part of the Kyushu region.
The Japan Meteorological Agency issued a heavy rain bulletin around 1 a.m. on Sunday as bands of heavy rain clouds stayed over the Amami region of Kagoshima Prefecture.
The front is expected to linger near western Japan and may cause increased rainfall in the region from Monday. Officials are calling on people to tune in to weather updates.
Meanwhile, warm air flowing in from the south is expected to increase the temperature in wide areas from western and eastern Japan on Sunday.
The mercury is expected to climb to over 30 degrees Celsius in many areas. Inland areas might even see the temperature reach around 35 degrees Celsius.
The high temperatures could also cause unstable atmospheric conditions. Officials are urging people to be on alert for downpours, lightning strikes, and gusty winds.
