I have consistently maintained a streak of refraining
from smoking for fourteen years and two hundred and
fifty-seven days in a row.

I have diligently completed 10 or more push-ups each day
for one year and three hundred and sixty-first straight
days, and have successfully achieved a steady completion
of 30 push-ups over the last thirty-one days.

While I feel deeply for those in Kyushu, Tohoku, and
Hokkaido who are suffering from typhoons and torrential
rains, the weather in Nagoya has been almost
embarrassingly clear.

Every year, it is said that heat is "unprecedented," but
this summer seems to have taken that to an entirely new
level.

At this point, even a brief evening shower would be a
lifesaver.

Compared to yesterday, the skies over Nagoya are showing
a slight increase in cloud cover.
Although the early morning suggested the possibility of rain,
the emergence of blue patches between scattered clouds has
given way to a predominantly sunny start to the day.

According to the latest forecast, however, Nagoya is expected
to endure intense solar radiation tomorrow, with temperatures
projected to reach a sweltering 39 degrees.

Given the potentially hazardous heat conditions, it would be
prudent to remain in shaded or air-conditioned environments.
