Eating Cheese with Chopsticks

Chewing Away at Cultural Differences since 2009

こちらに来て日本と違うなーと思うもの。こちらのお天気。
大阪よりも涼しいだろうなーと言うのは予想はしていたことだけど、それだけではなく、なんとも変わりやすい!
One of the things I feel is totally different from Japan is the weather here. I expected it would be cooler here than Osaka. But in addition to that, the weather here is very unpredictable.
weather
この地域の天気予報を見ていて良く見る記号。
晴れ曇り雨。・・・要は全部。これに雷も相まって一日の天気が構成されている感じです。しかも毎日。

This is the symbol I often see in the weather forecast here.
Sunny Cloudy Rain.... The point is all of them. The weather consists of all of them with thunder as well. And it is almost everyday.


昨日のGroningenお天気をちょっとご紹介しましょう。
ankodrop、夕方からお友達の家に遊びに行きました。5時くらいだったかな。それまではとっても良い天気でした。
お友達の家の近くのバス停までバスで行き、歩き始めた頃、ポツポツ、と雨が降り出しました。

Let me introduce yesterday's weather in Groningen.
Ankodrop visited a friend's house yesterday evening. We left the house around 5. It had been very nice weather yesterday. We took a bus to the bus stop near to the friend's house and started walking. We started feeling the first drops of rain.
heavy rain
あっという間にこの豪雨。しかも雷付き。
immidiately followed by this heavy rain with thunders.

雨宿りすること約20分。
We sheltered from the rain about 20 minutes.
after 20 minutes
止んだ。道路はびちょびちょ。
It stopped. The road was still very wet.
空を見ると、
When I looked up...
blue sky
青空が見えます!
I could see the blue sky!
そこから友人宅まで歩き始めて約10分。
We started walking again to the friend's house about 10 minutes from there.
even shadow!
なんと影が出来ています!空を見上げると
We could see our shadows! When we looked up the sky again
sun shine
太陽が顔を出しています!
We could see the shining sun!
と言ったように、こちらの天気は目まぐるしく変わります。朝晴れているからといって油断は禁物!いつ豪雨にあうかわかりません。
As I introduced above, the weather here changes very very often, It is dangerous to go out without umbrella. You can get heavy rain anytime.

まさに今もさっきまで晴れの良いお天気だったのに雨降ってるしー。
Just right now, it has been a nice weather today but it is raining now.

beautiful あじさい
これは昨日のお友達宅への道中で見た豪雨後のアジサイの花。とってもキレイです。
この天気はお花たちには良いのかもしれません。水遣りとかは必要なさそうですよね??
This is a hydrangea flower we saw on the way to the friend's house after the heavy rain. It is very beautiful. The weather may be very good for the flowers. We don't need to give water to them??
