“Sometimes a massive rainfall occurs” is the seasonal phrase for this week or so.  We have heavy rainfalls at times for sure around this time of year.  However, the scale of “heavy” seems to have changed comparing when I was growing up.

「大雨時行」。この時期の七十二候の名称がこれです。ときどき大雨が降るということのようで、確かにその通りですが、大雨の規模が昔とは違ってきている気がします。
