Autumn

"Poppy Blooming Bridge" Watercolor F4

On Friday, the weakened tropical cyclone of Typhoon No. 13 passed through the Kanto region.、It was the first day after summer vacation for the blue seagull painting class.、Driven by typhoon information、class has been canceled。The next day (September 9th)、The typhoon will not be a one-off、The sluggishness that seems to be a low pressure system still remains.。The next day, September 10th (Sunday), was also a little cloudy.、Sunny for now。That's why the temperature is high、Midsummer day has returned (actually, the 9th was also midsummer day)。

Classrooms will virtually resume from today, September 11th (Monday).。A person who could barely draw due to the heat、Blessed with sunny weather (scorching sun!)、There were various people who were playing around too much and couldn't draw.、I was so impressed that there was someone who drew a new screen.、A bit of a happy “unexpected” 。It may have been an inspiration to everyone。By the time the afternoon class ends,、The weather has changed to a clear autumn sky.。Although it's still hot, it's still hot、My core of heat is gone、The air seemed to be becoming more transparent.。
Come to think of it、when walking、More than half of the rice fields have already been harvested.。This year is 7、The average temperature across the country in August has significantly exceeded the previous record high (according to the Japan Meteorological Agency).、It seems that the rice harvesting period has been brought forward (according to the bulletins of each prefectural agricultural technology research center).、(They warned that during high temperatures, ``delayed cutting'' could lead to quality deterioration such as ``cracking.'')。

``Autumn'' is also well known as a seasonal word in haiku.。In the yearbook、It says, ``You will be able to clearly feel the atmosphere of autumn in both your eyes and ears.''。The air is clear、Distant mountains start to look a little closer、"I can hear distant sounds better."、In the "autumn of life", everything becomes distant "from both eyes and ears"。In other words、Does that mean there is zero plus or minus between weather and menstruation?。The average maximum temperature may be set again in September.。

It won't rain

"Seagulls" Oil Painting F120

It's not raining。(heavy rain、I'm sorry to those who are suffering from floods) but I hope it rains a little bit.。Hydrangeas in the garden, etc.、The flowers that want water in particular are drooping their necks。

Because it's not raining so much、What is the water storage rate at dams in the metropolitan area this year?、Apparently there's no problem at all。Even in small places, it's around 80%、93% in the Tone River system、I said it in the weather forecast。It was falling on the mountains。

but、That there is no rain on flat ground、That's how the temperature gets higher、This means that the cooler will be left on every night。Green curtains are also water-filled。You need electricity to pump water。How lucky it is to have moderate rain、I really feel it。
Even if there is water in front of you, it cannot be drunk or used in mud.。The flooded water can only be waited for it to recede.。The amount of seawater has increased due to global warming、Countries and regions are beginning to be submerged。

It is said that abnormal weather also has the effect of global warming.。Japan will turn carbon dioxide emissions to "virtually zero" by 2050、It declares "carbon neutral"。To reduce emissions to zero is、Make the amount absorbed by plants and the amount generated by economically、In that sense、It's not that it won't happen at all。
Economic and industrial perspectives do not seem to be very likely to achieve this、Ironically, the declining birthrate has progressed、If the decline in the industry progresses due to population decline、It may be achievable。In that sense, it could be contradictory to "measures to reduce birthrate" and "measures to global warming"。
It is necessary to bring together "wisdom"。Knowledge is the origin of wisdom、Because it's about knowing the facts、It is undoubtedly important to deepen your research。on the other hand、Research on global warming itself alone、The research itself is not progressing。Research and development of new observation equipment is also essential.、Thinking from a new perspective is also important。It's not that you just need to stand out one of them.。
but、In Japan, specific research is carried out.、We are currently implementing policies that only spend a certain period of time.。Research funding etc.、It's a bit sparse in terms of Japan's GDP、The reason for placing it in the lower position of tax use is、I would say that it is longer than the period from election to the next election.、Maybe it's because they don't have a long-term (?) vision?。Sowing seeds、I know it's hard to water、It's already dying。 

Dangerous heat

"Hamanasu flowers and fruit" Watercolor

It's hot、How many times have you said this year?。When you say the word "hot"、I feel really hot、I try to say "It's warm"、It's strange because I feel like it feels 2-3 degrees lower when I do that.。everyone、How are you doing?

And yet、News and weather forecasts have been repeatedly calling out ``dangerous heat.''。Just hearing it makes me feel breathless, as if it were 2-3 degrees higher.、It's a kind of "warning"、It can't be helped。Every day, your smartphone will receive notifications such as ``Please refrain from exercising outside'' and ``Do not go out unless it is urgent.''。

According to news etc.、It seems that ``dangerous heat'' is spreading all over the world.。Due to the heat wave "Charon" that occurred in North Africa、In places like Italy, temperatures have already been above 40°C for several days.、in a few more days、Rome is said to be on track to surpass Europe's record high temperature of 48.8 degrees Celsius.。In China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, temperatures have already exceeded 50 degrees Celsius.。To be honest, the temperature is unimaginable.。
 In such a place、As for whether everyone is using a cooler?、maybe not。For those who do not have a cooler (for those who are out of order or cannot use it for economic or other reasons)、I think it's a real "dangerous heat"。Was it about ten years ago?、Similar heatwaves have hit Europe and the Americas.、The memory of many people dying at that time came back to me.。
In southern Ukraine、Infectious diseases such as cholera have occurred due to flooding after the dam was destroyed.、It is reported that it is spreading in even worse environments such as trenches.。I'm thinking, "Maybe if we're at war!"、Only one person in the world can stop it、The doubly frightening reality is that Mr. Putin is the only one who is crazy.。

While swimming in the sea in the hot sun、Things like when I was a child, I would collect the fruits of the hamanasu that grew in clusters along the coastline.、In this abnormal world, it feels like a dream.。in any case、Summer has just begun (I'm sure the rainy season hasn't even ended yet).。Please enjoy this summer safely.。
