  Last month, the JMA website conducted a survey, asking respondents to choose from a list of candidates, and based on the results, along with interviews with meteorological experts, the agency has made its decision, and says that henceforth it will refer to over-40-degree days as kokushobi, which translates to “cruel heat days” or “cruelly hot days.” Kokushobi is written with the kanji 酷, 暑, and 日, meaning “cruel,” “heat/hot,” and “day,” respectively. [...] Kokushobi was by far the most common...

  We can trace most of the capture years from Nikon maker notes instead of memory. The D3300 appears at the start of the archive in 2016. The D5300 became the main body in February 2018; its final retained photograph from March 2023 reports a shutter count of 575,747. Nikon lists the D5300 shutter as tested to more than 100,000 cycles, so the recorded count reached about 5.8 times that reference point. We used the D3300 again after that, added a D3500 from August 2023 through April 2024, and retur...
