Kirk had posted about the unusually hot weather below, leading me to think about something I’d heard recently: that mikan (tangerine) cultivation in Kumamoto may become unfeasible in future. I was unable to find any specific information about this on the Web but did find this site which contains several tabs covering global warming’s ramifications in multiple areas in Japan. The link below is to the agricultural tab, which covers mostly rice production. Fortunately, it appears Kumamoto will not be greatly affected in that area; it would be sad to lose the mikan. Maybe avocados? - William
