Rainy Season?/梅雨?

A dentist's office in Tainan.
台南の歯医者の診療所。

いよいよ梅雨に入ったかな?台南は日本本土より一ヶ月前ぐらいから梅雨に入る。(でも沖縄とだいたい一緒だと思う。)この時期ならそろそろ梅雨が始まっても可笑しくない。そして、この間、雨が降る日がだんだん多く成って来ている気がするので、本当に梅雨かなと思っている。因みに、昼間の気温は既に30度を達している。流石緯度23度の台南は夏が長い。
It seems like we may have finally hit the rainy season here.  It seems like we've had more and more rainy days recently, and it is about the right time of year for it.  (Taiwan usually has its rainy season from May to June.)  The rainy season is something that affects most of East Asia, but it hits Taiwan and Okinawa earlier than it hits mainland Japan.  Also, I just thought I'd note that it's already hitting the high 80's during the day here.  As far as I'm concerned, it's summer already.
