This was mentioned in the past but those dates aren't strictly correct (e.g. for Okinawa).
What is strange about "East Asian"?

The "East-Asian" seems a bit odd. Maybe this works.

  Comments:
Its important to point out this doesn't refer to any rainy period but specifically the one that happens in the summer in East Asia. This is a mistake early learners often make, calling other rainy seasons in other countries 梅雨 (instead of the general term 雨季 )
