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.
Sam says
I remember my last autumn in Japan (2011) was really mild. A taste of things to come…?
Lee says
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…
Lizzy says
Oh no! Hopefully things will cool off soon. As it is we’re having a surprisingly mild autumn so far here in Texas.
Lee says
Weird weather the world over eh?
The temperature has actually dropped for the moment – we’ve got a typhoon closing in…
Lizzy says
Yikes! Hope everyone stays safe!
Lee says
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.
Willy says
Been unusually hot here in Aust too. Like the temple girl in the previous post.
Lee says
Hot all round it would seem!

Crazy, It is 5C in the morning here in Luxembourg and am packing for a 4 week trip to Japan with daytime temperatures of 30C,
Lee says
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…?
