In Akita, late June to late July is the rainy season. The spring and summer before and after that tend to have fairly moderate amounts of rain, and are good for outdoor activities. In November, it is common for some cold weather thunder storms to occur -- this is said to mark the end of fall and the beginning of hatahata a local fish season. In the winter, Akita sees some snow, though certainly inland areas get more.
