Some 44% of Japanese companies see extreme weather events around the globe hitting earnings, a Reuters survey showed, highlighting the impact of scorching heat waves and torrential rains on firms in the world's third-largest economy.

Disaster-prone Japan is no stranger to extreme weather events, including typhoons, floods and blistering heat.
