For example: in the middle of the meeting「会議の最中です」(かいぎのさいちゅうです). The second meaning is 'peak', referring to the height or climax of something, such as an event or season. For example: during the peak of summer「夏の最中に」(なつのさいちゅうに). The word is often used to emphasize the ongoing or intense nature of a situation. Another example: in the middle of a storm「嵐の最中」(あらしのさいちゅう).
