Today’s story きょうの あらすじ

In Tokyo, it rained for 35 consecutive days. It's said to be the longest record since they started keeping records in 1876. I feel like this long spell of rain is finally coming to an end. This morning, when I woke up, the blue sky was spreading, and it's a very pleasant autumn day. The weather forecast says another typhoon is approaching, so the rainy days might come back soon. The blue sky after such a long period of rain feels really nice, and I think the power of the sun is amazing.
