Rainy season ends in Okinawa

The rainy season has ended in Japan's southernmost prefecture of Okinawa.

The Okinawa Meteorological Observatory announced the end of Tsuyu 4 days earlier than usual.

The total amount of rainfall during the season until Friday, which started on May 6th, was 761 millimeters in Naha City and 741 millimeters in Kume-jima. That's about twice the amount of rain compared to a normal Tsuyu rainy season.

Mainland Japan is still in the midst of the rainy season which will continue into next month.
