The first half of August is the end of the extreme heat. It's the time of year when you can really feel the sweltering heat subside due to the heavy rain that comes with the intense heat of showers, thunderstorms, and typhoons.
It is also Japanese culture to call the act of avoiding the rain with one's elbows ``hijigasaame'', and the term ``shuu'' to describe a rain shower that suddenly starts and stops suddenly. The scene of pure white clouds rising in the blue sky turning into heavy rain may be a typical Japanese summer scene.
Going during heavy rain = Taiutokiki Furu
