March 30th-April 3rd, 2024 is Spring-SHUNBUN (Spring equinox)-12th KOU “Distant thunder”.

It’s the season when you can hear the sound of thunder in the distance.

The average temperature in Nagano City has finally reached double digits (over 10℃). And today’s high temperature is expected to be 19 ℃, similar to May.

Such sudden temperature changes can cause lightning. And there may be hail. This is a big concern for farmers. In fact, the hail that fell on May 15th last year caused major damage to crops.

On the other hand, Spring-thunder brings the rain that will be a blessing for plants that have just sprouted.

Hope it continues the mild days without any problems.
