Wet season - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A wet season or rainy season is a season in which the average rainfall in a region is significantly increased. The term green season is also sometimes used as a euphemism by tourist authorities. Tropical weather is dominated by the movement of the tropical rain belt, which oscillates from the northern to the southern tropics over the course of the year. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Rainy_season   (269 words)

Monsoon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The term was originally applied to seasonal winds in the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea. The word is also used more specifically for the season in which this wind blows from the southwest in India and adjacent areas that is characterized by very heavy rainfall, and especially, for the rainfall associated with this wind. Together, these factors mean that the heat capacity of the layer participating in the seasonal cycle is much larger over the oceans than over land, with the consequence that land warms faster and reaches a higher temperature than the ocean. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Monsoon   (1074 words)

Japan's Rainy Season (Tsuyu or Baiyu) The rainy season is caused by the collision of cold northerly and warm southerly air masses, which results in a relatively stable bad weather front over the Japanese archipelago for several weeks. In most of Japan, the rainy season lasts from the beginning of June to mid July, while it affects the islands of Okinawa about one month earlier. Nevertheless, the rainy season is not the most suitable season for visiting Japan, even though it can have its advantages. www.japan-guide.com /e/e2277.html   (382 words)

Soybean diseases in a rainy season For the fields that have damping-off this season, it is recommended that you plant resistant varieties for the next soybean season and treat seeds with Apron because of the inoculum buildup. Frequent rainfall this season is the primary reason for the early occurrence of this disease. However, if the weather continues to be rainy, the disease will progress from the lower leaves to the upper leaves rapidly. www.ipm.iastate.edu /ipm/icm/1998/6-29-1998/rainsoy.html   (574 words)

Santa Monica Mirror: 2004-05 Rainy Season Sets Records This year’s rainy season, as calculated from July 1, has totaled 34.36 inches so far, which is about four inches shy of the 38.18 inch record set in 1883-1884, and almost 20 inches more than the average yearly rainfall of 14.97 inches. According to weather experts, this season’s exceptional wetness is due to a mild El Nino storm, similar to the El Nino that brought us 31.01 inches of rain in 1997-1998. This season’s torrential rains have caused extraordinary damage, triggering landslides, destroying homes, roads, and even the Santa Paula Airport, and are responsible for a handful of deaths. www.smmirror.com /volume6/issue38/rainy_season_sets.asp   (283 words)
