It's been 2 weeks since we moved here from the mouth of Tokyo Bay and we've seen almost nothing but rain. Not having a car really cramped our style there because of the lack of public transportation and crap taxi service. Here we have bus, train, and convenient taxis which don't charge you just to come pick you up. 
If and when the rainy season ends, I'm looking forward to getting a bus pass that allows me to ride all that I please for 3 months; plus I can ride the highway bus to Fukuoka for 1/2 price.
Last night we ordered in very reasonable sushi, which we never did in the previous place because it was "nutso" expensive. The same delivery service also brings a variety of pizzas and other "tsumami", drinking snacks.
The picture here shows how rainy it gets, but what it doesn't show is that this picture was impossible from our other house in minami boso area because, for some strange reason, they seem to insist on frosted windows that you can't see out of without opening to the elements. It's representative of how closed off they are there, personally and geographically.
