It was fine and another extremely hot day. Even at night it is nearly 30 degrees centigrade, It is called nettaiya (熱帯夜), tropical night.

We are experiencing unusual summer this year because of Covid-19. 

Usually people go back to their home town during o-bon season from August 13 to 16 and visit the graveyard, have a dance meeting called bon-odori (盆踊り), have fire works festivals here and there. There is a high school baseball tournament called koshien(甲子園), etc. 

Nothing happened. Many peolpe tried to stay home to keep themselves safe.
