This year summer is way way hotter then last year when I came here. And just now we just got an announcement from the tokorozawa ward office on the loudspeaker saying that they've recorded a whooping 38.2 Celsius over here.

So how's the temperature currently at your place? and any advice on coping with it without the usage of a air-conditioner?

Yes, it's been unusually hot here in Fukuoka as well. The days are getting shorter but the heat is still strong. I find I have increased cravings for ice cream everytime I step outside lol. Of course I have 3 separate A/C units in my home so I am loathe to leave my comfort zone in the middle of the day.
 
man~ I wish I could turn on my A/C, since I'm living on a tight student budget, opening the A/C for one day would mean I'd be eating rice and nattou only for the whole next week. lol

My house = oven! argh

Go to the local public library (air-conditioned) or swimming pool. It might be crowded but sure beats a small apartment.

To sleep at night, my recommendation (that I posted last year as well):
Icenon Pillow
 
Says it is 34 Celsius here up north on the coast. No breeze and few clouds. But it is still hotter in my apartment than outside.
 
And I hope this great, hot, melting-like summer weather goes on for another 3 weeks at least !! I use no air conditioning in the house, nor the car (most of the time). Even when at my office at the uni, in the last days of July, I do not use the cooler--only I do allow the students who come to talk or do work turn it on.

Yes...I'm so happy that it didn't turn out to be a cool summer, after all !! Live on Summer !! MM
 
I hope Kirirao san can somehow manage this dreadful heat. Without a/c, sleeping is almost impossible. I like the concept of summer where everything is green and growing, the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and cicadas genki de yatte iru. But I hate the actuality!! Let's hope for an early end to this wild heat. How about another typhoon skirting the Eastern edge of Japan and bringing some cool rain.
And let's hope for early snowfall this year...about the same time as Thanksgiving would be good I think.
