Rainy season is coming (梅雨がやってくる)

Hello!

I am a Japanese language tutor, Muu..

It's been cloudy and rainy in my city so far.

June is the rainy season in Japan.
It was announced that Tsuyu:the name of the rainy season in Japan, began in the southern part of Kyusyu yesterday.

it is usually damp and clammy for about a month during Tsuyu.
So some people don't like it.
Actually, I kind of like it. It has been too hot in summer lately, so I feel like I'm taking a break before that.

An American once said to me "Although Japan has spring, summer, autumn, winter, and rainy seasons, why are there only four seasons instead of five?

Tsuyu is a period that almost all Japanese people are aware of every year. But we don't think we are going to add it to the four seasons.
That's strange!

Is there a rainy season in your country? What seasons are there?

See you soon.

こんにちは！
語学講師のMuu.(むう)です。

私の街ではここのところ、曇りや雨が続いています。
日本の6月と言えば梅雨、雨の季節です。昨日は九州南部が梅雨入りしました。

例年１ヶ月ほど、ぐずついた天気が続きますが
最近は夏が暑すぎるので、その前のひと休みといった感じもあります。

以前、アメリカの方から「日本には春夏秋冬と雨季があるのに、なんで五季じゃなくて四季なの？梅雨って何？」と聞かれました。
日本人にとって、梅雨は、毎年はっきりと意識する期間ではありますが
四季にプラスしようとは思いません。不思議ですね。

皆さんの国には、雨季はありますか？どんな季節がありますか？

それでは、また。
