Weather information

Summer in Tokyo is extremely hot and humid. It's more than often above 30C / 90F. Try to avoid dehydration, especially when you walk a long way during the daytime. Weather information in Japan can be found in: Accuweather.com Meanwhile, it is also the season of cicadas. Some of you might find their showering screech alien, but just google "cicadas" and "haiku" and you will find yourself wandering into the forest of Japanese poetry.
