Hello!

I often get asked about what the biggest differences between Japan and Canada are, and without a doubt, the biggest difference is the weather. Canada is considered a very temperate climate, which means that it has big swings in its weather patterns. In the summer it's warm and sunny, and in the winter, it's dark, cold, and windy.

Here in Japan, however, the weather is much more consistent, at least where we are here on Shikoku. Here, it's warm and sunny all year long, but in the summer, we start getting into the humid season. Being humid in this case means that not only is the weather hot, but also wet. There is a large amount of moisture in the air, so it feels like walking through a shower. Where I am from in Canada, this weather is almost impossible to have, so having it for months and months here in Japan is difficult for me! What it means is I have to buy lots of new shorts for this summer, and find new ways to try and beat the heat!
