#3692026/08/05 (水)Okinawa trip ③:A surprising side of Okinawa沖縄は、一年中暖かいリゾートというイメージですが、今は「避暑地」と呼ばれ始めてるのを知っていますか?というのも、本州の夏が暑すぎて、沖縄の方が気温が少しだけ低いからです。(日差しは、沖縄の方がめちゃくちゃ強いです。)18時すぎくらいからは、30度はあるのですが暑すぎず、ずっと外にいたいなと思うくらい、とても心地良い風が吹いていて、子供の頃の日本の夕方を思い出しました。おきなわは、いちねんじゅう あたたかい りぞーとという いめーじですが、いまは「ひしょち」と よばれはじめてるのを しっていますか?というのも、ほんしゅうの なつが あつすぎて、おきなわの ほうが きおんが すこしだけ ひくいからです。(ひざしは おきなわの ほうが めちゃくちゃ つよいです。)じゅうはちじ すぎくらいからは、さんじゅうどは あるのですが あつすぎず、ずっと そとに いたいなと おもうくらい、とても ここちよい かぜが ふいていて、こどものころの にほんの ゆうがたを おもいだしました。When people think of Okinawa, they usually imagine a warm tropical resort all year round.But did you know that it’s recently started being called a summer escape?That’s because summer in mainland Japan has become so hot that Okinawa is often a little cooler by comparison.(The sunshine in Okinawa is much stronger, though!)After about 6 p.m., it was still around 30°C, but it didn’t feel unbearably hot. A pleasant breeze was blowing, and it was so comfortable that I wanted to stay outside all evening.It reminded me of summer evenings in Japan when I was a child.【Today’s words】避暑地(ひしょち)/ A quiet and cooler place you go to rest and get away from hot cities in summer 本州(ほんしゅう)/ Honshu (Japan’s main island)日差し(ひざし)/ sunshine; sunlight心地良い(ここちよい)/ pleasant; comfortable夕方(ゆうがた)/ evening※ Around 4pm ~ 6pm★This post is also available on the broadcast channel (Japanese daily tips) of my Instagram. 【https://www.instagram.com/channel/AbbOi9lyhNtGwo6A/?igsh=enhqNGRyajhobnZ5】
