Today is a special day---
it is the hottest time of the year 大暑
and it is full moon today, 満月.
According to the TV news, it was 19 years ago
that we had a day of 「大暑 and 満月」last.
It is very rare that we have a full moon on the day of 大暑.
Actually, it was one of the hottest days in Tokyo,
but we had a thunderstorm this afternoon.
And heavy cloud hid the full moon here in Tokyo.
(skies after the thunderstorm, at 6:53 p.m.)
