1. “Heat dome”, “heat island”, “heat wave” all describe it being super hot right now in Japan

2. Need more trees and green space, Nagoya is giant hot slab of concrete in a valley right now

3. Had one of those last summer in the Pacific Northwest. I wanted to die. My cats were panting. They’re not supposed to do that.

4. Wearing a mask outside when the temperature is more than 35 degrees is just insanity and masochism.

5. Lower to mid 30s here. The humidity is just brutal though.

6. More heat, more violence. Beware.

7. Hokkaido is seeing more tourists coming I guess.
