Thoughts on Summer 2025
So, September is ending and it finally looks like Summer is over.
This year, Tokyo had 25 days with the maximum going over 35. Other 45+ days went over 30. The hottest recorded Summer, until the next one.
Weekends were quite hard for the kid (and we the adults). Too hot to go to parks during the day; shopping centers are far and boring.
I miss biking on summer. Even the 15 minutes uphill to the University. I guess that with these temperatures many of my routes would be inviable (unhealthy and dangerous).
I skipped going to the beach. Hotter than parks, but also far from home. Which is sad, as I’m finally back near the sea; not many hours away anymore.
Compared to the last two Summers when I was in Europe, having the option of using air conditioning was good. Not having the option of not using air conditioning was very bad.
At least I could play some games while inside home; this does not change with the seasons.
I hope the next year I can actually enjoy Summer itself.
