Rainy season?

I haven't ever figured out when, exactly, rainy season is suppose to be in Japan. My understanding is June or July - getting things nice and wet before the heat picks up and everything gets muggy.

The last two years I remember very little rain until August or September - and usually associated with typhoons. This year, however, we seem to be rotating between extended rainy patches and perfect summer days - and its only May. Is this a traditional (if early) Japanese rainy season? Or is it yet another anomaly?

I just hope it doesn't lead to higher or longer humidity this summer. I'm definitely nervous.

It seems as though it's always the rainy season here in beautiful La Conner. Kathy
