Japanese summer climate is a scourge. Oppressive heat broken only by raging storms. The really frustrating thing this year is that Covid is blocking people like me from escaping.

Its been crazy here, local river flooded its banks yesterday. Fortunately I live on elevated ground. Stay safe.

Disastrous rain in Europe and Asia, scorching heat waves causing wild fires of unprecedented proportions in Amazon, California, Australia, Greece and now in the Russian Far East. Receding glaciers, melting icebergs in the Poles and the rising sea level.
I'm tempted to connect these disasters to abnormal weather, which is itself caused by global warming which in return is caused by man's insatiable thirst for comfortable modern life. Maybe, it's time for humanity to stop to reflect what's really going on around us.

This is extreme weather. The recent floods in mainland Europe, which killed hundreds, were caused by half that level of rainfall. Stay safe everyone!

Possible. Recommend self-treatments mate, as everything else right now is over-taxed.
“Stay safe everyone!”

If Japan don't have natural disaster like UK, they would be No.1 in econony and better infrastructure.

Japan only exists because it's being pushed out of the ocean floor by colliding plates.
