My correspondent wrote me this:

> (...) 日本の気候をしっかり体験していってくださいね

The dictionary isn't helping much here... "Please
steadily/firmly/properly/wisely experience Japan's climate"? There are so many
meanings of しっかり it is difficult to tell what is meant here. Context was
difficult weather like rainstorms and typhoons.

Meaning of "しっかり体験して"?
In that context, 「しっかり」 would mean something like "to the fullest".

> "Please experience the Japanese climate to the fullest (before you return
> home)!"

answer
The fact that the writer said this in connection with storms and typhoons
makes this clear. It means, literally,'please experience the Japanese weather
with fortitude'. What the writer is saying is 'You'll find the weather pretty
rough, but I hope you'll bear it with fortitude and regard it as an
[interesting/instructive] experience.' Since the tone of the Japanese is
informal I'd translate this, if asked, as 'The Japanese weather can be quite
harsh, so just grin and bear it - it'll be an experience!'
