Weather Quiz
First Spring Gale
With a strong, warm wind, you get a season that had stopped moving going again.
In Japan, haru-ichiban — “spring's first” — is the name for the first strong, warm southerly wind of the year that blows between the traditional start of spring in early February and the spring equinox. Air that sat still all winter gets swept out in one go. You're often the one who invites people out the moment a gap opens up, and gets a stalled plan moving again.
You're bright, you have momentum, and you don't stay in one place. When something catches your interest, you head straight for it. Where you've passed through, new plans and new faces are often left behind.
After the first spring gale, the cold often comes back for a while. Things you start on a burst of energy can likewise cool off before the next wind arrives. Team up with someone who keeps an eye on the sky after the wind has passed, and the season really does move forward.
