Ces flux instables déclenchent des dépressions cycloniques qui passent au-dessus de l'archipel en mai-juin, puis au mois de septembre, occasionnant deux périodes de pluies marquées, dont la première, appelée tsuyu ou baiu («la pluie des prunes» - ainsi nommée parce qu'elle marque la saison des prunes), peut être diluvienne. 3, record 1, French, - bai%2Du
