Gesture & etiquette
A relaxed, open smile and slight look toward the sky or out a window; this is light, warm seasonal small talk — tone is relieved and cheerful, not formal.
Tsuyu (梅雨), Japan's rainy season, runs from early June to mid-July in the Kanto region. Commenting on its end is a beloved seasonal conversation marker — attunement to nature's rhythms (四季を感じる) is a deeply Japanese cultural value. 'すっきりした' (feels refreshed/clear/lighter) is the quintessential post-tsuyu word.
