This is How Japanese People Survive the Hot, Humid Summer

日本にほんの夏なつはとても暑あつくて湿度しつどが高たかいです。気温きおんが30度どを超こえる日ひも多おおく、外そとに少すこしいるだけで汗あせをたくさんかきます🥵そのため、日本人にほんじんはいろいろな方法ほうほうで暑あつい夏なつを乗のり切きっています🔥

夏なつになると、多おおくの人ひとがエアコンを使つかいます。エアコンには部屋へやを冷ひやす機能きのうだけではなく、「除湿じょしつ」という機能きのうもあります😊除湿じょしつは空気くうきの中なかの湿気しっけを減へらす機能きのうです。気温きおんがそれほど高たかくなくても、湿度しつどが高たかいと蒸むし暑あつく感かんじるので、梅雨つゆの時期じきには除湿じょしつを使つかう人ひとがたくさんいます👍

また、扇風機せんぷうきも人気にんきです。エアコンと一緒いっしょに使つかうと、冷つめたい空気くうきが部屋全体へやぜんたいに広ひろがるので、より涼すずしく感かんじます。最近さいきんは「ハンディファン」と呼よばれる小ちいさい扇風機せんぷうきも人気にんきです。電車でんしゃを待まつときや外そとを歩あるくときに使つかう人ひとをよく見みかけます🧐私わたしも持もっていますよ~!

夏なつの前まえになると、エアコンを掃除そうじする家庭かていも多おおいです。長ながい間使あいだつかっていないエアコンにはほこりやカビがたまることがあります。自分じぶんで掃除そうじする人ひともいますが、専門せんもんのクリーニング会社がいしゃに頼たのむ人ひともいます。ただし、料金りょうきんは少すこし高たかく、1台だいで1万円以上まんえんいじょうかかることもあります😑

日本にほんの夏なつは大変たいへんですが、エアコンや扇風機せんぷうき、除湿機能じょしつきのうなどを上手じょうずに使つかいながら、多おおくの人ひとが暑あつさと戦たたかっています🥹体調たいちょうに気きを付つけましょうね!

【English Translation】

Japan’s summers are very hot and humid. There are many days when the temperature rises above 30°C, and you can sweat a lot just by being outside for a short time. Because of this, Japanese people use various methods to survive the hot summer months.

When summer arrives, many people use air conditioners. Air conditioners not only cool rooms but also have a function called “dehumidification”. Dehumidification reduces the moisture in the air. Even if the temperature is not very high, high humidity can make the weather feel sticky and uncomfortable, so many people use the dehumidification mode during the rainy season.

Fans are also popular. When used together with an air conditioner, they help spread cool air throughout the room, making it feel even cooler. Recently, small portable fans called “handy fans” have become very popular. You can often see people using them while waiting for trains or walking outside. I have one too!

Before summer begins, many families clean their air conditioners. Air conditioners that have not been used for a long time can collect dust and mold. Some people clean them themselves, while others hire professional cleaning companies. However, the cost can be a little expensive, and cleaning one unit may cost more than 10,000 yen.

Japanese summers can be challenging, but many people manage the heat by using air conditioners, fans, and dehumidification functions effectively. Be sure to take care of your health!
