Rain in the forecast accurate?
We are coming to Tokyo next week, and the forecast shows about half the days with rain. We have learned through our travels not to read too much into this, however we just want to know how to pack. Does this mean rain all day, a little spitting, etc etc?
Thanks
Thanks

Rain can vary a lot this time of year. It could be anything. That said, "disposable" umbrellas can be found at any convenience store, supermarket, etc. etc. for usually 300~500 yen, so don't need to worry about that. I would pack extra socks just in case though

EDIT: Looks like there are no looming typhoons other than the current one:
