How do you feel about the rainy season? Farmers like it because they need the rain. However, I don’t know many city people who like it. It rains a lot, so it takes a long time for clothes to dry, and food goes bad more easily. The rainy season hasn’t started yet in my area of Japan, but I noticed that it is becoming more humid. The rainy season usually starts in Okinawa, but this year, it began in southern Kyushu. It started about two weeks earlier than usual. I checked the weather report, and the rainy season has just started in Amami. It should reach Okinawa next. When will it get to the Chubu area? Forecasters are saying that it will begin in early June.    (126 words)
