Rainy and Dry Seasons

[Cheryll]

Someone : Another weather one!? You're crazy! >:[
Me : I don't care, some people like them, I don't know why though. :/

Anyway. Here's two passages from rElIaBlE sOuRcEs.

Rainy Season (Tsuyu)
"In early summer, most parts of Japan get visited by a rainy season, the so called tsuyu..."
"...the rainy season lasts from the beginning of June to mid July..."
"The chances of viewing Mount Fuji may be low, but the lush vegetation and hydrangea flowers are twice as intensive in rain than in dry weather..."

HOLD UP! Hydrangeas? According to the Animal Crossing wiki, "Blue and Pink hydrangea - June 8th - July 5th"
Hm...I wonder? :/
Anyway, so yep, if you payed attention, Japan has a rainy season which Nintendo was like...add that.
Yep, rain and thunderstorms are common there, making tarantula hunting a bit hard though most rain occurs at daytime to early evening.

Next, I'll read these...
Dry Season
"...weather cools pleasantly in October, and November weather is relatively dry and mild..."
"Tokyo is cold, sunny, and dry during winter..."

So, yep. I've noticed that autumn and winter have a bit less rain or snow days. Well, except December. Past December is generally nice.

"ITS RAINING IN MY TOWN AND IT IS NOVEMBER 10!!!"
Ok, calm down. :[
So, I didn't say it won't rain, I said it will have less rain.
I've noticed all of this. It's really interesting how Japan and the Animal Crossing season works.

Anyway, bye. I'm just a bit bored.

Japan's weather comes from two jetstreams. In June and late September through early October, Japan is positioned directly between the two of them, so it brings in lots of rain. Since Animal Crossing is made in Japan, that's how they decided to represent the rainy season.

Yep, they taught me that, well my brother. It was a bit scary for my six year old self see-ing rounds of rain in my window. I used to live around Fukuoka (southern Japan) so that added more rain than like...Hakodate in the north.

Interesting. I know Japan happens to be in a area where storms can roll in, but I never thought of a jet stream.

Thanks for sharing. c:
