Hot and Humid

The expression in Japanese is "mushi-atsui", (mushi = steamy, atsui = hot). Being from Florida, it's not that I don't know what hot humid weather is, but here the air conditioning is much more iffy - not every place has it, not every place has central units. Add to that the fact that I live a 15 minute walk from the Office and don't have or even drive a car in Japan. The result is that I sweat a lot here. Thank the Lord for orchestrating the creation of anti-persperant/deodorants. I still sit in church and sweat after my walk, so I fan myself and use a small towel to wipe the drips.
Fortunately the hot humid weather is only June and July with the "rainy season". In late July it switches to mainly hot through the middle of September.
