今日の天気は素晴らしいですけど、天気予報によって明日から涼しくて荒天になるそうです。 :sad:
今年の夏は時々熱かったですけどだいたいまあまあでした。今週の天気は暑くて、太陽が出て、真の夏でした!今週も仕事が始まりましたのに…

Today’s weather is great, but according to the weather forecast, it will turn chilly and stormy starting tomorrow. Even though it was sometimes hot, this year on the whole the summer was only so-so. This week, however, it was hot, the sun shone everyday, a true summer weather at last ! Unfortunately, I also got back to work this week…

Avlorさん>あきがもうすぐきますね。 The autumn is near…..
とうきょうも むしあつい です が よる は すずしい です。
Tokyo mo mushi atsui desu ga yoru wa suzushii desu
Tokyo is humid and hot also, but it’s cooler in the evening.

プチクレアさん>毎日毎日よく天気が変わりますよね!びっくりです!
The weather changes so fast! It’s amazing how quickly the sunny sky can turn so dark and brings storm sometimes!

Jasminさん>Tha lake sounds wonderful!! especially since we don’t really have a lake “nearby my house” in tokyo! Will be looking forward to reading your comment in Japanese :wink:

hirokoさん >
はい。 わかります。 ありがとうございます。 So が can be used like “but/although” too. すぐ is a new word for me - adding it to my flashcards. I have much to learn! :)

I have to say, I can not agree with you in 100%, but that’s just my IMHO, which could be very wrong.
p.s. You have an awesome template for your blog. Where have you got it from?
