34 degrees Celsius in Kyoto even at 4 pm

In Kyoto, the temperature is 34 degrees Celsius even at 4 pm. I stayed in Tokyo for a while until yesterday, and it was cooler than Kyoto. In the University, I said to my assistant “Kyoto is really hot, isn’t it?” Then she replied with a gentle smile, “It was cool until yesterday. It got hotter because you came to Kyoto.” I thought that this is quite similar to the conversation between Professor Kenji Tsuchiya of Ochanomizu University, who is famous for humor essays, and his assistant.
