Well we are a few weeks in to Korea's rainy season, a tie between August and October where Korea gets about 80% of its annual rainfall. It mostly comes from tropical depressions that are dissipating as they move north. You may have seen pictures from Okinawa, which has been hit by two tropical storms in the last month.
By the time it gets here it is usually just rain and wind, and lots of it. Though not a rainy season in the sense that Thailand gets a rainy season (98% of the rainfall in a six month stretch) and some years it's questionable whether or not there even is a rainy season, this year it is definitely on.
So much so that literally as I am typing this my coworker Crystal called to tell me that classes are cancelled today due to the storm heading our way. Sure enough I have a missed call from my boss and it's a day off.
It has brought refreshingly cool temperatures though, with 35 and humid a thing of the past (until next July). Today is downright chilly at 19 (or it feels that way anyway after weeks of 30 and over).
Anyway, time to enjoy my unexpected three day weekend.
