It is already very hot even in the mornings in that last Friday, even with sunblock on her skin, I made Yui wear her hat again. But she absolutely doesn’t like it at all that even when we were still in front of our door, she took her hat off. But I firmly put it back again on her and again and again repeatedly told her “it’s so hot, Yui needs to wear a hat” on our way to daycare.
Admirably, Yui obeyed Mom. But she was holding her hat the whole 15 minutes that we walked from our home to daycare.
With a frown.
She probably wants to tell her Mom she doesn’t like the big ribbon on her hat π Don’t worry baby, Mom realised she doesn’t like it either.
It’s been terribly hot lately. I grew up in a tropical country, with my hometown much closer to the equator than Japan but it only gets humid there whenever it’s about to rain. So the actual temperature is almost certainly the same as what you’d really feel. And there’s the wind, there’s always the wind to help keep things cooler. At least in my hometown. It’s an altogether different story with Manila. The last time we visited during the peak of summer, it was unbearably hot in Manila (well, I was pregnant then so it really is hotter for me than usual).
With my weather forecast app though, where we usually get only the sun, rain, clouds, wind or snow, we now have a thermometer, indicating how unusually hot it’s gonna be where we live.
And yesterday, we actually had a “feels like 48degC” temperature (“feels like” includes consideration for humidity).
Hubs said this summer is the hottest in Japan in 1000 years. I wouldn’t argue. I wonder though how the people managed the heat – no airconditioning back then! Yikes!
Take care in this summer everyone!
