Every day it’s around 35 degrees Celsius, and people tell me not to work in the fields during the daytime because 75 years old will catch my breath…
In fact, I don’t feel so hot anymore. I don’t think I’ve ever uttered the word “ache. Maybe it’s getting worse?
Daytime work on a hot day is not as hot as expected!
In the rice paddies of the Echigo Plain, farmers are diligent about managing the water supply every day. Warm water is constantly drained and cool water is injected.
Thanks to this, a cool breeze of 3 to 4 m/s blows in the afternoon on extremely hot days. Is this the Uchimizu effect in the Echigo Plain? Since 1 m/s of wind cools the air by 1°C, it feels 3-4°C cooler.
The Echigo Plain is a natural cooler.
That said, it is hot and barely light work!
Today, we are finally working on cleaning up the pea poles. Even though there is a breeze, it is still blazing hot, so we take a shower every hour, and take a break with plum juice and salty pickled plums…
