I was back in my home country during covid, so this is my first summer in Kyoto since 2019, and as much as it was sorta miserable, I don’t remember it being THIS hot.
Jesus, I was helping at my company stall for Gion Matsuri earlier today and for the first time in my life I actually felt danger from the heat, and I grew up in a tropical country. These are temperatures where people should declare an emergency, not hold the biggest festival of the year….
