A ranking of the most used onomatopoeic words during the summer:
In addition, our recommendation for the only word you’ll need to use all season (apart from atsui) is jime-jime (じめじめ, humid, wet and clammy). Use it and you’ll be lavished with admiration over how pera-pera (ぺらぺら, fluent) your Japanese is.
