This year, the rainy season starts early, and I have many holidays during the rainy season, so I think I'll be able to ride my bike more than usual.

However, daytime temperatures have reached over 30 degrees Celsius on midsummer days.

If you want to ride comfortably, we recommend going early in the morning or in the evening.

So, before dusk, I went for a run in the nearby mountains to cool off.

In the mountains where no one was around, the cries of the black-tailed cicadas were echoing.

Well, it's July starting tomorrow.

It will get even hotter once the rainy season ends, so be sure to take precautions by wearing a summer jacket and Leiden innerwear.
