2015.6.22

It was cloudy, partially fine, and rather hot.

Today is geshi(夏至), one of nijyushisekki  (二十四節季), the 24 solar terms.
The last one was boshu(芒種) on June 6, and the next one is shosho (小暑) on July 7.

Geshi literally means "summer reach," it is summer solstice in English.  It is the day when daytime is the longest and nighttime is the shortest in a year.
