Current forecasts for both Tokyo and Kyoto showing the hot weather ending Sunday the 23rd. Both locales are forecast low 80s for he 23rd and down to around 75 for the 24th. Let's hope that forecast continues.

We have had over 4 inches of rain this week and we are still in the middle of Typhoon season. A typhoon is currnetly near Okinawa and is schedule to transit the Korean Straight this weekend. I hope we are "typhoon free" for PANDA but who knows. Here is the link to the one week forecast for cities in Japan. The other links on this page from the Japan Meterological Agency can provide loads of additional weather information.
