【2024祇園祭】祇園祭の後祭(あとまつり)の山鉾巡行が2024年7月24日、京都市中心部であり、巡行終盤の正午前からは急な強い雨に見舞われた。
京都市中心部では、雷鳴とともに急な強い雨が降り出し、四条通はアスファルトを打つ雨で白く煙るほどだった。巡行を終えていた南観音山、北観音山は懸装品(けそうひん)に急きょビニールをかけて対応した。大船鉾は、車輪がぬれてうまく進めなくなり、四条通で一時停止したが、すぐ動き出した。
[2024 Gion Festival] The Gion Festival Atomatsuri float parade was held in central Kyoto on July 24, 2024, and was hit by a sudden heavy rain just before noon toward the end of the parade.
In central Kyoto, heavy rain suddenly started falling along with thunder, and Shijo Street was covered in white smoke from the rain hitting the asphalt. Minami Kannonyama and Kita Kannonyama, which had already finished their parade, quickly covered their hanging items with plastic. The Ofune Hoko float stopped temporarily at Shijo Street as its wheels became wet and it was difficult to move forward, but it soon started moving again.
