First ever: we measured the river water temperature. (We’re short on ideas😭 Send us your tips!)
This time, we measured the water temperature of the Shukugawa River on Monday, September 14.
We measured it at three spots, so we’ll introduce them in order from north to south.
Near Kurakuenguchi Station
We measured it around here.
Around 2 p.m., the air temperature was 32.2°C and the water temperature was 25.7°C.
Waterwheel
If you go a little farther south, there’s a waterwheel. We’ve written an article about it too, so take a look.
In Front of Shukugawa Public Hall
The location is around here.
Around 1 p.m., the air temperature was 28.1°C and the water temperature was 25.3°C.
Katahoko Pond
Katahoko Pond is next to the public hall. There’s also a small rest area.
When we looked into the pond, there were koi. (They’re hard to see in the photo, but there are turtles too. Try to find them.)
Near Rinkosen Road
The third spot was around here.
Around 1:30 p.m., the air temperature was 30.2°C and the water temperature was 26.3°C.
Finally
Now that September is here, the heat has settled down quite a bit.
We called this the first installment, but we’re not sure if there will be a second one. Still, please look forward to the next “We measured the river water temperature.” (We might go measure the Mukogawa River…)
