Severe heat poses another health risk for survivors still trapped inside their homes after deadly torrential rains flooded parts of Japan this week.

After one of the worst natural disasters in the nation’s recent history, rescue workers on Friday are still trying to locate missing people in parts of western Japan as temperatures soar. At least nine people have already been reported dead during a heat wave with temperatures as high as 106 degrees Fahrenheit, which hit just as authorities began to assess the damage from flooding that poured muddy water into the streets and spurred dangerous mudslides throughout the western part of the country.
