誤字熟語

【詐月晴れ】(さつきばれ)


気象機関が国民の関心を惹こうとして、九州南部を除くと時期尚早に思える梅雨入りを、皐月(さつき)・五月にしては稀な雨続きにかこつけて発表するも、それをあざ笑うかのように熱中症で実際に命を落とす者まで現れるほどの好天が戻ってきて、せっかくのご自慢のサプライズ宣言を撤回させることとなる、なんとも皮肉な晴れ間。

Typo Tropes

“May-lie sun”

In an attempt to attract the public's attention, the meteorological service announced that the rainy season had begun, which seemed premature except in southern Kyushu, on the back of a rare rainy spell in Satsuki or May, but as if to mock the announcement, the weather returned so fine that some people actually died of heat stroke, forcing them to retract the surprise declaration they had been so proud of. It's indeed an ironic break in the weather. 


Recall declared,

Forecasts, politicians' diction,

May's sun deceives.
