Today in Tokyo, the temperature exceeded 30\u00b0C (86\u00b0F), and it suddenly turned hot and humid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looking at the weather forecast for the next two weeks, it seems the temperature will continue to surpass 30\u00b0C every day, with no sign of rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On such a hot day, we had some unexpected but delightful visitors at our salon\u2014three adorable baby ducks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since this morning, I had been hearing bird calls and wondering, \u201cWhat kind of bird could that be?\u201d I kept looking up at the trees and rooftops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then, just after noon, I spotted the three ducklings waddling around our small gravel garden together.
When they noticed people nearby, they quickly hid from view.
I\u2019m sorry I couldn\u2019t show you how cute they looked, but a kind customer told me that the mother duck flew in and walked away with them. That was a relief to hear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tokyo is now headed straight into the grueling heat of summer.
To all travelers: please pay attention not just to the temperature, but also to the humidity.
High humidity can make it feel even hotter than it is.
Tokyo summers are, in a word, intense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
