今年の気温 the temperature this year

My kids will be having a sports day in about a week.

In Japan, there is a sport event held at schools
in spring or autumn where the whole school is divided into
two teams (team red and team white) and compete against each
other through all kinds of field games.

Last year, we had it on the 5th of September.
You may think that it is too hot to hold a sport day
early in September but don't forget, it's Takayama here!!

This year, we're having it on the 17th
and we're so thankful that it is held two weeks later than last year.

It has been quite hot these days that we don't want to imagine
ourselves staying out under the boiling sun for the whole day.

I was looking at the temperature of the past years
and it said, the lowest temperature went 11 degrees (Celsius)
on the 11th of September last year.
Cooooooooold for early September.

We're having double the temperature this year compared to last year,
no wonder it's hot!!

約一週間後に、子供たちの運動会が開催されます。

昨年の運動会は9月5日でした。
9月の初めだなんて、暑そう～～なイメージですが、
さすが高山、適温で快適な運動会だったんです。

今年の開催は17日。
17日で本当に助かりました。

今年の残暑は予報通り厳しくて
同じ頃の開催だったらと考えると
ぞっとします。

ふと気になって、
過去の天気を調べてみたんです。
なんと、去年の9月11日、
最低気温が11℃ですって。
さ、さむい～～。

今朝の最低気温は20℃。
暑いわけだぁ。
