Japanese hot summer

Japan has 4 seasons. Spring, summer, autumn, winter there is. So by 4 seasons, Japanese location is beautiful. Especially, the location of autumn leaves is so popular, in Kyoto, many foreign tourists are visited.
By the way, all seasons are not preferable. Especially summer is bad, I think. And sometimes in the newspaper, we find the victims.
So into the summer season, we have important points to live. Then I will introduce the points in this article.


1.How about Japanese summer

Then how about the Japanese summer is?

1-1.High temperature

First of all, it is high temperature. Sometimes we would hear over 35℃. I think the temperature, people that live in hot country would be surprised.
By the way, the hottest period is August. In the period, high temperature is extended until midnight.
Meanwhile, perhaps you might think that the hottest place is South areas. But sometimes, the hottest areas would be around Tokyo. Then foreign people that live in Tokyo firstly, they should plan about measures about high temperature.

1-2.High humidity

I think Japanese humidity is special embodiment. Perhaps in South Asian country, it might not strange. But many western people say the embodiment is so hard.
And this humidity is bad for food. Because it is perishable. Then, if you don't take care, it is not good for health.

1-3.Heavy rain

In Japan, summer is rainy season. But recently the rain is more heavier. Sometimes flood attacks town.
Especially in the big cities, the problem is a big issue. Because in a big city, the water from heavy rain is discharged by big pump. But the amount of water is so much, the performance of the pump will be not enough. Then the water that is not discharged goes town.


2.What is the items needed

Then, shall we prepare what items?

2-1.Air conditioner

First of all, the air conditioner is needed.
Depending on the apartments, the temperature will increase. For example, if the window is facing South, The room temperature will be so high. And if the your room is upper floor, the temperature will high.
Then in the problem, the air conditioner's performance is so important.
By the want, air conditioner needs big energy. So if the apartment cannot supply the electricity, the air conditioner will not move. So if you would buy an air conditioner, you should not take care only the air conditioner performance, it is also needed to confirm the electronic supply.

2-2.Fan

Perhaps, it might be enough for the air conditioner equipped, but I recommend to have also fanned.
Because air conditioner can be temperature cool. But thinking blowing in the wind, the fan is more better. Then for cooling faster, the performance of the fan is so useful.

2-3.Drinks 

In the building, the air conditioner will temperature down. However
in outdoors, you should have a drink. Especially in office areas is so hot.
The drinks are possible to buy wherever. Convenience store, vending machine, you can choose as you like.
But there is an important point to have a drink. It is about empty can. In Japan, selfish throwing away is violated. You should know about the rules for the empty can.


3.The ways for the temperature down

Depending on the situation, there are some ways for the temperature down.
Actually air conditioner is effective. But payment for the electronics company would be increased. This way is not economic ways.

3-1.Ventilation

Ventilation is important. Actually, when outdoor temperature is higher, it might be no more effective. But sometimes room temperature is higher, because of electronic equipment. At this time, ventilation is good.
But the ventilation should be continued. So quite fun is recommended, I guess.

3-2.Shading

Shading is the best method. A curtain is effective. But if you would make good atmosphere, I recommended to use the green curtain.
Green curtain is one of shading item that is used vine. Actually, this method is needed that taking care. But it is not the only effect of temperature, but it makes good interior item.


Anyway, Japanese summer is hard. Then you have to take care the temperature and your conditions.
Please don't get sick!
