At least 157 people are dead in western Japan and dozens are still missing after record rainfall that sparked flash floods and mudslides over the weekend, officials said, according to broadcaster NHK.

Search efforts were continuing for at least 57 others are still missing, most in hardest-hit Hiroshima prefecture, where dozens of people have died. The Japan Times reports rescuers on Tuesday were looking for people stranded in homes and in flooded areas that had not yet drained.

The newspaper says that the number of dead is the highest for a rain-related event in the country since 1982.
