The Weather in Japan


It is the middle of October now, but really it feels a lot like the middle of September for us! Over the past few weeks, we have been experiencing the slow change from summer to fall. However, where Calgary’s temperatures often change daily, the forecast for this week in Japan is: 22, 19, 18, 20, 18. Every week the average temperature drops by a degree or two. At least it’s predictable!
The days start out a little cold, and we sure are glad that Nik figured out how to make the air conditioner blow hot air (genius!) because overnight we do get a little cool. This could be because we sleep on our futon (that’s on the floor!) with only a sheet covering us. We do have lovely comfortable duvets, but we’re using them to sleep on for extra comfort! So we may have to invest in a blanket or two. Last night our extra sheets were drying on the line, so we resorted to covering our blankets with towels.
During the daytime, it is usually somewhat overcast. Some days are cloudier than others, but we haven’t had rain in a while. It is usually a little windy too. But, still no change in the colors of the leaves! We’ll have to keep you posted on that one.
