It has been a severe lingering heat until now, so it seems like you will be able to feel a change in temperature even if it is around normal. Some areas may feel a little cool in the mornings and evenings. The minimum temperature is expected to drop to around 20℃ from Kanto to Kyushu. After the 25th (Monday), maximum temperatures will be higher than normal, and daily temperature changes will be large.

In addition, there will be more days surrounded by dry autumn air, and there will likely be days that are drier than in summer. Make sure to maintain appropriate humidity indoors. As the seasons change, the temperature changes greatly. This is also the time when there are many school events that attract people, such as school festivals and sports festivals. Please take good care of your health.
