I was playing a VN that mentioned the rainy season and it took me a second but I remembered the word for that is "tsuyu." With kanji, it's not written as like, rain + season as you might expect, but rather the characters for "plum" and "rain": 梅雨.
Wikipedia has the etymology: "refers to the historical belief that, when the plums turn yellow and fall at the south of the Yangtze in the fourth and fifth months, the moisture that evaporates from the plant turns into rain." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Asian_rainy_season
