Admin’s Note

I’m surprised by the forecast for extreme heat this weekend, and it’s especially important to take measures against heatstroke. I try to stay hydrated and take breaks in cool places regularly. While I find Log’s advice helpful, I also want to prioritize my health while enjoying life like Chako does. When temperatures rise to unusually high levels, it puts a strain on our bodies, so it’s crucial for everyone to take proper precautions. We need to be particularly careful in the upcoming season.
