今年の夏は厳しい暑さが少し和らぐ可能性が出てきました
Quoted under Article 32 of the Copyright Act of Japan from the thread
“今年の夏は厳しい暑さが少し和らぐ可能性が出てきました”

【朗報】 (rōhō, “good news”) is a headline-style tag used in Japanese social media and forums. Placed at the start of a post or tweet, it signals “Great news ahead!” and grabs readers’ attention—much like “BREAKING: Good news” in English click-bait titles. A common counterpart is 【悲報】 (“bad news”), which flags disappointing updates. Both tags are written inside the distinctive corner brackets to stand out on feeds.
