Back in Chiba. Back at the office. Very tired and hungry.

I’ll post a full write-up for yesterday’s “chase” this evening. At the moment, I’m waiting for Robin to arrive, after which we’ll get some lunch and decompress. Unless someone objects, I’ll try to sneak out early this afternoon. The tropics look quiet for for at least the next week, so I might cut down on the amount of time I spend at the office. There’s no point in being here if I don’t have any work to do.

The sky is crystal clear now that the storm has passed; it’s the first time I’ve seen the sun since arriving last week. Unfortunately, with the sun comes the heat, and even though subsidence behind the departing storm has dried the lower levels a bit, it’s always humid here near Tokyo Bay.
