Tokyo (CNN)Dozens of people have died across Japan as the country
continues to swelter under scorching summer temperatures.
At least 44 people have died since July 9, with 11 dying on Saturday
alone according to Kyodo News.
In Kumagaya, a city near Tokyo, the mercury rose to 41.1 degrees
(105.98F), the highest ever on record in Japan, according to the Japan
Meteorological Agency, almost 12 degrees hotter than average
temperatures at this time of year.

Temperatures had eased off slightly Tuesday, but were still forecast to
rise to the high 30s in both Kumagaya and Tokyo. Schools across Japan --
which are currently on summer break -- have canceled sporting and
outdoors events.
