Summary

In Minami Chita, Aichi Prefecture, a tourist farm has seen its sunflowers bloom earlier than expected.

This phenomenon is attributed to the extreme heat that began in June. Nagoya recorded a temperature of 35.8°C, marking the highest number of hot days for June on record. Due to a lack of rain, the farm is also in a situation where irrigation has become necessary. The sight of the sunflowers blooming all at once offers a fresh attraction for visitors to the tourist farm.

Admin’s Note

While the sight of sunflowers in full bloom is truly magnificent, it’s important to consider the struggles faced by farmers amidst the ongoing extreme heat. This makes me appreciate the power of nature, while also recognizing the need for human effort. In particular, we need to raise awareness about heatstroke prevention. To fully enjoy the charm of sunflowers at tourist farms, it’s essential to prioritize our health while visiting.
