Weather

 Hello everyone! I'm Yuka. I would like to tell you about the unique weather of Japan and wrong meaning about weather.
 Have you ever heard "Satsukibare"? It is written "五月晴れ" in kanji. In Japan, a lot of rain fall in June. It is called "Tsuyu". "Satsukibare" means a lull in the rain which is seen in the rainy season of June. But, the word is thought to different meaning recently. "Satsuki" means "May" in English. So, many people are misunderstanding that "Satsukibare" shows sunny day in May. It is wrong. We need to know about true meaning. Thank you for reading!
