rainy season

[nibot]

It's been hot and sunny in Japan since I arrived here, almost two weeks ago. I've caught a few off-hand comments about the "rainy season" being a few weeks late, and yesterday when rain appeared on the forecast, there was some clarification requested about whether it said "rain" or "heavy rain". I got the idea that the "heavy rain" is something to respect.

Now it is coming down in buckets outside. The "rainy season" has arrived.

Heavy rain is kind of like having a swimming pool in your vicinity for a few minutes. Pleasant, but absolutely drenching.
