The day before yesterday, I thought the blue sky had finally spread out, but it's been raining again since yesterday. Apparently, until the day before that sunny day, it had rained for an amazing 17 days in a row. There was just one day off, and now it's rain, rain, rain every day again. For the past few years, summers have had days so hot that it felt like we might dry up, with almost no rain, so every year people worried about water shortages. But this year, because it has kept raining this much, I heard the dams that store Tokyo's water are at 100%. There's no need to worry about water shortages, but when it keeps raining this much every day, even my mood turns blue.
