Today 29th (Monday) was the coldest of the season.  It was the coldest in the season at more than half of the observation points nationwide, and it seems that the first frost and the first snow of the year were observed in various places such as Kyoto and Sendai.  The first frost in Sendai was two weeks later than normal, while Okayama was observed more than two weeks earlier, and it seems that the season has advanced at once.  Even so, the daytime is still warm and cheerful, and the winter cherry blossoms along the river are in bloom. There are only two days left in November, and the climate has been chaotic in recent years, but the annual event is definitely moving towards the year-end and New Year holidays.

今日29日(月)は今季一番の冷え込みになりました。全国の観測地点でも半数以上で今季一番の冷え込みになり、京都や仙台など各地で初霜や初氷が観測されたそうです。仙台の初霜は平年に比べて2週間も遅かったのに対し、岡山は2週間以上早い観測で、一気に季節が前進した様です。それでも昼間はまだまだポカポカ陽気の小春日和で、川沿いの冬桜が花を咲かせています。11月もあと二日、気候はこのところカオス状態ですが、年中行事は確実に年末年始に向けて動いています。
