How can I restore the umbrella’s water-repellent effect?
If you use an umbrella for a long time, it gradually stops repelling rain, doesn’t it? In such cases, what’s a good way to restore its water-repellent power? Hint: it has to do with the umbrella’s surface.
- Blow warm air with a hair dryer.
- Place in a cold location
- pour hot water
See the answer
Blow warm air with a hair dryer.
The surface of the umbrella has a water-repellent coating, but its effectiveness weakens with use. At such times, applying warm air with a hair dryer can reactivate the water-repellent components, making it repel rain well again. Please give it a try.
What do you call the rain that falls around the end of the rainy season?
- early-summer rainy season with heavy storms
- the end of the rainy season
- typhoon rainy season
See the answer
early-summer rainy season with heavy storms
Arazuyu refers to very heavy rain that falls intensively during the latter part of the rainy season. During this period, caution is needed because some areas may suffer damage from swollen rivers and thunderstorms brought by the intense rainfall. After the arazuyu passes, the rainy season often ends and summer arrives.
