 CS> It's still decent here but low 90's.  We dont complain until it hits
 CS> 105F and above.  When it hits 115F, we start to walk slower and take
 CS> frozen water bottles with us.  It seldom hits higher than a heat index
 CS> of that though in Japan. xxcarol

DC> That's too hot!  However, I didn't mind the 80's and 90's in Montana.
DC> The humidity was often close to Zero.  


Being at the seaside, we are usually pretty damp.  It's heading to the
Japanese ¨version of 'Monsoon' season.  I think it's the same one that
travels across ¨India but is less here.  It rains almost every day,
sometimes in true 'buckets' ¨that will drench you to your skin in less than
2 minutes.

Grin, Don checked the weather forcast and warned us it starts raining in a
few ¨hours and will last for the next day til petering out Friday (we hope,
Wed ¨here).  The sky is a uniform grey and it's started to sprinkle.  At
this season ¨though, we need little warning as we know it will rain almost
every day for a ¨bit and sometimes for 2 days straight.

I gotta get Charlotte a better umbrella.  Her old one with the light in the
¨handle kinda got 'whifted away' by the wind and broke up.  Her new one is
ok, ¨but may not last the season.

I need one too that is better.  Gusting winds and I need one that is more
¨'bubble' shaped than what I have.
