"Tropical Night"
Wednesday, 8. July 2009, 13:16:50
Yesterday night was so terrible. The minimum temperature was 25 degrees in Centigrade. It's not maximum, but minimum. Damn, global warmings, and so called "heat island" phenomenon.
The night whose minimum temperature was above 25 is called "Tropical Night" here in Japan, but it is not academic term, so you can't find it at Wikipedia, except CJK's.

Oh, the Heat island is listed at Wikipedia, which I did not know.

It's still July, you know. So probably until the middle of September, we have to endure and contrive to survive in such a tremendous heat, hi.

...We just passed the 100 degree (F) weather a few weeks ago,...but it's still July. I think it's coming back soon.

How far are you away from equator? Tokyo is about 35.4 degrees north (latitude) and Oslo is about 60 degrees.
