Been cloudy all day here in Yamaguchi, with scattered showers, but no thunderstorms as the scare mongering news was belching on about this morning on local TV.
Both western and eastern Japan. Has anyone looked at a map. It's not exactly a wide country. Why not just say the obvious that, "it's going to rain" or "it's going to rain in Japan" just in case someone forgets which country this is.

Because the term "western Japan" usually just refers to Kyushu, Shikoku and western Honshu, and the term "eastern Japan" is sometimes (and probably in this instance) used to just refer to Kanto and south Tohoku.
Which leaves Okinawa, Ogasawara islands, northernmost Honshu and Hokkaido out.
yeah what i learned today is there are 6 of us (myself included) who had nothing better than to comment about something as mundane as rain in japan...i'm off to have some beers now
