Rain Rain come back another day soon.
Japan's climate is supposed to have five seasons per year. Although most people don't like to admit it, the whole of June is supposed to be non-stop rain. But where is this so called rainy season? This year, the rain didn't start until about one and a half weeks later then it was supposed to. Also, the really strong rain only lasted for about four or five days. Since then I have been eagerly watching the weather forecast everyday to check for downpours to see if I would finally get to use my umbrella. But nothing yet.
Now I am starting to ask myself, is this the effect of climate change hitting japan very hard or have I just been unluckily spared all of the heavy rain up until now? Only time will tell.
