It's bloody hot here. Yesterday the weather service recorded Tokyo's highest temperature since they began measurements in 1923--it was 39.5 (just over 103 F) in Otemachi. 210 people were treated for heatstroke, but I don't think anyone died.
Being outside was like walking through blood.
Today was slightly cooler at 37.2 (99 F) but I had to dress up for the CEATEC poster photo shoot, so I was wearing cosmetics, pantyhose, and a suit. Atsuiiiiii!
The average temperature in Tokyo for 7/21 is 25.8 but today's average is 33.3. I can only hope that this ends very soon or I am going to melt.
But im really starting to get comfortable with it!
The trick is to get out in it, like a whole day, or even better overnight, and you body has a chance to reset itself, and it doesnt feel so bad!
I was happy to be out in the thick of it today.

Didn't Earnest Hemingway characterise Tokyo summers that way?
