Plain Language Summary: Long-term variations in precipitation during the major rainy periods in Japan—the Baiu and Akisame seasons—are investigated using precipitation records from 44 weather stations in western to eastern Japan over the past 120 years (1901–2020). In this study, we showed that the observed long-term trends differ greatly between the Baiu and Akisame seasons although the statistical significances of the trends are not so high.
