July 6th – July 11th, 2024 is Summer – SHOSHO (Lesser heat)-31st KOU “Warm winds blow.”
It means “Now in the season SHOSHO (lesser hot). A refreshing southerly wind that feels just warm blows,” …… but in the HOKUSHIN area, the humidity of the rainy season continues. It’s stuffy more than refreshing. The rainy season is expected to end around July 22.
This year’s rain-falling isn’t a continuous drizzle all day. It rains a little harder from the late evening or midnight to dawn, and the weather is sunny during the day.
The vegetables in my kitchen garden seem to be happy with this weather. They have been growing rapidly in the past few days. The grass around them is also growing, so I weeded them about an hour. Though the work was done early in the morning, I was covered in sweat.
