July 7th – July 11th, 2025 is Summer – Start of SHOSHO (lesser heat)-31st KOU “Warm winds blow.”
We have entered the “SHOSHO” season according to the 24 solar terms. Contrary to its name of “lesser”, hot days continue. The wind is more “hot” than “warm”.
The end of the rainy season, which was predicted to be early this month, is expected to be as normal as usual (later, the date was revised to around Jne 28th).
Humans are not the only ones feeling the heat.
Fans are busy in orchards. In fact, they are often used in early spring to protect fruit from frost. Even though it is still hot in the evenings, thanks to the fans, the fruit may be feeling a little cooler.
We have received news that peach harvesting has begun in the NANSHIN area (southern part of the SHINSHU Region). Here in the HOKUHIN area, they will come from late July.
