August 7th – August 11th, 2024 is Autumn – RISSHU (Beginning of autumn)-39th KOU “Thick fog descends.”
According to the 24 SEKKI (Major divisions), it’s RISSHU (beginning of autumn) and the SHICHIJYUNI-KOU tells that thick fog descends.
Even though the calendar is in autumn, it is still hot during the day and also at night. Sometimes I feel some winds are a little cool at dawn though, I can sleep with windows fully open still now.
Nagano City is located in a basin at high altitude where fogs/clouds are likely to occur due to re-evaporation of rain and radiation cooling. Mountains are covered in thin and thick fogs.
