[When Does the Rainy Season Begin? Facts About the Rainy Season in Japan]
There are four seasons in Japan: spring is from March to May, summer from June to August, autumn from September to November, and winter from December to February.
The different seasons have different temperatures and weather, and during the transition from spring to summer in the months of June to July, the daylight hours decrease and rain begins to fall non-stop. This is Japan's rainy season.
The cause of this phenomenon is thought to be caused by the development of the Baiu front.
The Baiu front is when warm and cool air collide and remain stagnant while pushing against each other, producing rain, wind, and thunder.
In Japan, the Baiu front develops during June and July and gradually moves north, drenching the entire country in rain.
It is difficult to go outside during the rainy season's dreary weather, but even this season has its own charms!
It is the best time to see hydrangeas at their peak all across Japan, made even more beautiful with the raindrops glistening on their petals.
Make sure to not forget your rain gear when visiting Japan during the rainy season!
