Every June, after my kids start summer break\u00a0in U.S., I normally come back to my hometown, Gifu Japan with my kids. I have been in Japan since last week, and I have to tell you, weather is getting humid every day. June is normally rainy season in Japan, but this year is not as bad as last year. Temperature has been around late 70&#8217;s to early 80&#8217;s with partly cloudy forecast for the most part. \u00a0However, since I am not so used to the humid weather in the U.S., I am feeling\u00a0uncomfortable, especially at night.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\u00a0In this article, let me introduce you to some of the vocabularies that are often used during the summer months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>\u3080\u3057\u3042\u3064\u3044\u3000\uff08\u84b8\u3057\u6691\u3044\uff09- mushiatsui<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">You cannot go through summer in Japan without saying the word &#8220;mushi atsui&#8221; once. This just means &#8220;humid.&#8221; It gets so humid here and that you will probably keep repeating this word to yourself and anyone around you. \u00a0During the summer, conversation with the neighbors normally start with &#8220;\u84b8\u3057\u6691\u3044\u3067\u3059\u306d\u3002\uff08\u3080\u3057\u3042\u3064\u3044\u3067\u3059\u306d\u3002\uff09-mushi atsui desune.
