Is the rainy season over this year?

Today's clear blue sky taken near my place.

Hydrangea is a symbol of rainy season around June in Japan.

I woke up feeling uncomfortable with a bit heat of weather , but found a clear blue sky through the window. I wonder if the rainy season is over yet...

While I was in Europe during the last week, it seemed that it rained a lot in Japan. I heard some News of floods, mud-slides which led to fatal deaths of some people in mountainous area.

Some say that it is a bit hard to tell if the rainy season is over or not, but here is one easy way to tell it.

Just listen to the voice of Cicadas! If you hear it a lot around you, that means that it is over. If one or two, not yet. They just did a false start!

Well, it seems not yet around my area, but the Summer heat has aready reached us.
