A rainy season

Along with the arrival of spring in Jeju, comes the rain. Looking out my window the past few days hasn't been a pleasant sight, but it makes for good sleeping.



And this morning...



The rainy season has started, but its only the beginning:

The island is unique in that the so-called 'Bracken Rainy Spell,' prior to the monsoon season, sweeps through the island in the Spring. In the Spring rainy season, a series of drizzle serves to make Spring the second highest rainy season, providing 23% of the annual precipitation. The "Bracken Rainy Spell" is equivalent to the "zzu you(梅雨)" in Japan.


The biggest rain season however is in the Summer, when weather is almost completely unpredictable and can change many times throughout the day; maybe I should buy an umbrella? 우산 주세요.
