Today was 34 degrees Celsius (about 93 degrees Fahrenheit) in Kumamoto City but the six days before that were all over 35 C (95 F). Days over 35 C are official designated as moshobi (extremely hot days, scorchers) and recorded in statistics. Last year we had 10 for the whole year so six in a row is fairly remarkable. Unfortunately, more hot weather is predicted for the weekend.
