I just read this morning that this is the hottest summer on record for Japan since 1898. All my students have also said that this summer has been especially hot. Apparently the temperature exceeds 30C two or three times per summer here in Sapporo, but this year we have had 15 of these days! Amazing! I thought I had left the heat behind me in Okinawa... but the highest temperature of the summer here has been 36C, where Okinawa only reaches 33C! Mind you, it's more humid in Okinawa, and the night time low is lower. Not to mention that the summer in Okinawa is much longer... Sapporo will eventually start to cool down. Fall should be here soon, and I hope to post lots of pictures of autumn foliage! So here are pics of me in Okinawa (darkest, top left), Sapporo in May (lightest, middle) and Sapporo today ("just right amount of tan," bottom left).
札幌は平年、夏日が3日しかないらしい。けど今年はすでに15日以上、気温が30度を超えたそうです。ニュースによると、この110年の間、最も暑い夏になっています。(それは札幌だけじゃなくて、全日本!)沖縄から北海道に引っ越しして「暑い夏にさようなら」と思ったけど今年の札幌の最高気温は36度でした!沖縄は普段、33度以上行かないけどな!まぁ、湿度が高くて最低気温も高くて夏が長いけどなぁ。そろそろ札幌は秋に入って緑が紅に染まるのを楽しみにしてる!その時はたくさんの写真を撮って、ブログに載せたいと思います!ちなみに、上の写真は沖縄のときのもっとも黒かった頃と、今年の札幌の5月の私と、今日の私です。けっこう日焼けしたと思うけどね!
