Heavy rainfall is expected in various areas of Japan on Wednesday through Thursday due to unstable atmospheric conditions caused by an active rain front. The Japan Meteorological Agency has issued a warning that linear precipitation bands, which bring heavy rainfall in a short period of time, may develop in the Hokuriku region on Wednesday and in the Tokai region and the Izu Islands on Thursday.
