Tokyo’s summer-like October heat

Japan’s fabled four seasons seem to have left leave of their senses this year, as despite being well into October, the summer-like heat shows no signs of abating. Quite the opposite in fact, as in Tokyo on Saturday it reached a new high of 31.3 degrees.

A temperature hot enough to not only enter the record books, but also result in slightly excessive grumbling and grimacing.

    I remember my last autumn in Japan (2011) was really mild. A taste of things to come…?

      I thinks so.

      Autumn seems to be getting shorter every year, with summer getting ever longer — both from starting point to end. Such a shame, as autumn is — or at least was — such a lovely time of year here…

    Oh no! Hopefully things will cool off soon. As it is we’re having a surprisingly mild autumn so far here in Texas.

      Weird weather the world over eh?

      The temperature has actually dropped for the moment – we’ve got a typhoon closing in…

          All good thanks. Supposed to hit in a few hours. But so long as you are indoors, it’s perfectly fine. Just a bit noisy.

      Well, a lot cooler today — another typhoon is here. But supposed to get back up to the mid-20 by the end of the week. From then onwards, who knows…?
