After a few days in October with a minimum temperature of 20°C and a maximum of 29°C, the temperature suddenly dropped on the 6th and 7th.
Yesterday, the high temperature was 13 degrees Celsius and the low was 11 degrees Celsius, which is on par with early December. This is the first record in 88 years.
Eighty-eight years ago was 1934. It was the year Manchukuo became an empire, and President Roosevelt of the United States approved the Philippine Independence Act. It was the year that the Far Eastern Games in Manila were broadcast live overseas on radio for the first time in Japan, and the bronze statue of Hachiko, the loyal dog, was erected in Shibuya. Incidentally, Hachiko was still alive and attended the unveiling ceremony.
Anyway, 88 years ago was a long time ago that is already history. Yesterday was the coldest day since then.
My wife, who was born and raised in the South, loves snow but hates the cold. So even on a slightly cooler morning, she says, "It's cold, it's cold," so yesterday's cold was hard for her to bear. And it was raining cold, so the coldness seemed to have soaked into her.
My part-time job was off yesterday, so I decided to have nabe for dinner and went out to the supermarket at noon to buy some food.
I also set the air conditioner to heat and greeted my wife when she came home freezing.
