This is not a story about political subject but about weather. Japan Meteorological Agency announced today that rainy season has begun in Tokyo. Different from the weather in Vancouver, it is rather obvious in Japan. In this season every year, northern cold airmass and southern warm airmass bump over Japan Islands and create seasonal rainy front, which moves slowly from south to north over the island and brings consisting rain for weeks. Of course we don't like this consisting, unpleasant and irritating rain, but it is indispensable for us to overcome the following dry summer; little rain in this season means serious water shortage in summer. To tell the truth, it was one of the important reasons why I lived in Vancouver for years; I dared to escape from this terrible wet season. Unfortunately I'm now in Japan and I'm really afraid of it. I'm already sweating only by thinking about it.
