Kanro (寒露, literally cold dew) is one of nijyushisekki (二十四節気), 24 solar terms. The last one was shubun (秋分) on September 23 and the next one is soko (霜降) on October 23. It is the time to start freezing the dew by coldness, and winter birds such as wild goose start migrating, chrysanthemums start blooming, and crickets stop chirping.
This year the extremely big typhoon No. 18 hit Japan. The strongest wind velocity was 40 meters per second. It has been 2 years since the typhoon No. 9 hit Japan in September 2007. It is very rare that the typhoon came in October. In Tokyo about 20 % of schools (277) decided to close. This typhoon left many damages.
