Suma Beach

This is a local beach, which is about 15-20 mins by train from my place. It was quite busy yesterday.

The weather's hovered mostly around 30-31 degrees since the rainy season ended a while back, although, even now when we get rain it doesn't really fall below 27-ish. So there's cool rain hitting you and a nice breeze, but you're still sweating like crazy from the humidity. We've had the occasional typhoon warning, but that's a pretty typical thing. We've had none actually hit yet as Kyushu (one of Japan's main islands that really shelters Kobe/Osaka from the open sea) usually takes the brunt of it. We do get the rain from them though.
