The weather report says that there will be rain for the next few days around Japan. That is good news for farmers. Rice and vegetables need a lot of water, especially when it is hot. However, this weather can be dangerous. There is too much water in the air. We call this “humidity.” Nagoya has high humidity, and that makes it difficult for your body to cool off. When the humidity is low, your sweat dries quickly and cools you. When the humidity is high, the sweat doesn’t dry, so you feel hotter. It is hot and humid now, so be careful and stay safe with these tips. 1) Drink enough water, 2) do easy outdoor activities, 3) wear clothes made of cotton or linen, and 4) take a regular break in an air-conditioned place.     (135 words)
