Japan Heat Wave 2018
A heat wave has gripped Japan over the past two weeks and Japan experienced the highest temperature ever recorded on the last Monday.
Although I currently live in Tokyo, my hometown is not Tokyo and it is in the northeastern part of Japan. Generally speaking, the climate in the northeastern region is cooler than other cities like Tokyo and Osaka. Therefore, many schools in my hometown don't have air conditioners and I didn't feel inconvenience about that as a student.
This summer, however, my hometown has been battered by intense heat. In fact, my mother who works as a teacher said that P.E lessons in her school had been canceled in the past few days because of the sweltering weather. I'm worried about my parents' health and the lack of air conditioners in my mother's workplace.

Japan's Heat Wave in 2018
A heat wave has gripped Japan over the past two weeks and Japan experienced the highest temperature ever recorded on the last Monday.Although I currently live in Tokyo, my hometown is not Tokyo and it is in the northeastern part of Japan. Generally speaking, the climate in the northeastern region is cooler than other cities (1) such as like Tokyo and Osaka. Therefore, many schools in my hometown don't have air conditioners and I didn't feel that the lack of air conditioners caused me any inconvenience inconvenience about that as a student.

Hi Yuko,
Has the heat wave subsided in Japan? I really hope that it will be over soon.
For your writing, I would like to share some thoughts:
(1) There is nothing wrong with using "like" when you are providing examples; however, I decided to use "such as" to sound more formal since you are writing for an audience on the Internet.
(2) Both letters "P" and "E" represent individual words "Physical" and "Education" respectively and there is usually no need to use a period to separate both letters. Other examples: BBC (not B.B.C) for British Broadcasting Corporation / NHK (not N.H.K) for Nippon Hoso Kyokai. Of course, there are some exceptions. For example, US or U.S are both acceptable for the United States.
As a side discussion, if the last letter of a single word is also used in an abbreviation, a period is unnecessary. Otherwise, a period is necessary.
Examples: Doctor --> Dr // Paragraph -->Para.
(3) Although the cancellation of lessons happened in the past, the effect of that cancellation was still present as you were writing. In this case, you use the present perfect tense (has/have + verb (past participle form))
Another example:
I have never seen (past participle form of "see") a shooting star. (In the past, I did not see a shooting star. Even at the present moment, I still have not seen one.)
I hope this helps.
