Japan's rainy season begins in southern Kyushu
Japan's rainy season appears to have begun in the southern part of the Kyushu region, the Meteorological Agency announced Friday. This is the first time since statistics began in 1951 that southern Kyushu has entered the rainy season earlier than any other region in Japan. The start of the rainy season in the region also comes 14 days earlier than usual, and 23 days earlier than last year. The announcement was based on preliminary results that may be corrected in definitive statistics to be released in early September. Rainy season usually arrives earlier in Okinawa, the southernmost prefecture, and the Amami region, an island group belonging to the southwestern prefecture of Kagoshima. This year, however, the Pacific high pressure system extends widely, making the seasonal rain front come on the northern side. The season may be advancing faster, due to westerlies over Japan running more northward than in an average year, according to the agency.

Love Island's Kaz Crossley sizzles in tiny bikini as she gets soaked in the rain on holiday in Thailand
KAZ Crossley oozed beach babe glam as she stripped to a thong bikini in Thailand. The Love Island alum, 30, opted for the racy patterned two-piece which tied high on her hip as she strolled around in the pouring rain. 6 6 Kaz flashed a smile despite the wet conditions, flashing her tan as she walked barefoot in her swimwear around a patio area. The All Stars alum swept her platinum blonde locks back and went make-up free for a video posted to Instagram Stories. She added the teasing caption: "Why would you visit Thailand during rainy season?" The next scenes saw her close the doors to her garden compound before taking an outdoor shower. Kaz added: "God forbid a girl likes to get wet." She then hit the pool for a lie down on a yellow float. To finish off the clip, the reality TV beauty took a twirl in her two-piece. SOLO TRIP Kaz's solo trip came after she appeared to call time on her relationship with All Stars co-star, Montel McKenzie. Love Island's Kaz Crossley drops huge hint she's split from Montel McKenzie in new post The pair dropped hints that they have called time on their romance just weeks after leaving the villa as an item. In a recent post, she gave fans an update on her life lately, but failed to mention love interest Montel. Despite them hitting it off in the villa, they have remained quiet about their relationship on social media, fuelling speculation that they've gone their separate ways. In a further hint, Kaz captioned it: "When you start loving yourself, life starts loving you too."

All Stars winner Gabby Allen then appeared to suggest their partnership had failed. Speaking on the White Fox After Hours podcast, Gabby was asked by the host: 'Who is most likely to be chronically single?' Gabby replied: 'Kaz. I was with her yesterday and she was like 'no man is good enough' and it's true. "I love Kaz, I haven't watched it back but from what I've seen, I think she might have got a bit of a rough edit. "She's amazing, she's one of a kind and it's going to take a special strong man to be able to handle her, so until she finds someone that's on her level... then they're not worth it.' 6 6 6

Love Island star Kaz Crossley flaunts her jaw-dropping figure in tiny thong bikini as she larks about in the rain during Thailand getaway
Kaz Crossley set pulses racing on Monday morning, as she shared a sizzling bikini-clad video of herself frolicking in the rain during her trip to Thailand. The Love Island star, 30, thrilled her Instagram followers as she stripped to a tiny purple two-piece that showcased her ample cleavage and chiselled midriff. She posed up a storm at the pool in her lavish villa, uncaring of the heavy downpour and even indulging in the outdoor shower. Kaz cheekily turned around to flash her toned behind to the camera in her thong bikini bottoms and slicked her short wet hair back from her face. The stunner - who is half-Thai - explained that she loves to visit the tropical country during rainy season, to take advantage of the cheaper prices and fewer tourists. Writing over the clip, she teased: '"Why would you visit Thailand during rainy season?" God forbid a girl likes to get wet'. In the caption, Kaz added: 'Don't let a bit of rain stop you from living your best life x'. While in Thailand, she has been hard at work running her Combat Collective retreat in Phuket, teaching women Muay Thai. Last week, the martial arts expert explained why she had founded the camps, telling her fans that building the retreats 'has given me purpose'. She said: 'Combat Collective began as part of my own healing. Through Muay Thai I found something i didn't know i was looking for, resilience purpose, and the strength to face my past and begin to rewrite my story.' And last month she received a visit from Love Island host Maya Jama, who stopped by for kickboxing session. Kaz was on hand to help train the TV presenter and shouted encouragement as Maya donned boxing gloves and kicked and punched a bag. Sharing clips to her Instagram Stories Maya wrote: 'This in the heat is madness my technique needs work it's for the first time ok'. She then went on to tag Kaz and her company promising she would be back for another training session. The stunner - who is half-Thai - explained that she loves to visit the tropical country during rainy season, to take advantage of the cheaper prices and fewer tourists While in Thailand, she has been hard at work running her Combat Collective retreat and last month received a visit from Love Island host Maya Jama, who stopped by for kickboxing session (seen) It comes after Kaz revealed that her alopecia had returned, sharing a snap of a new spot of hair loss. Taking to her Instagram Stories last month, she pulled back her short platinum blonde hair to reveal a small bald patch, and wrote: 'Found a small alopecia spot (new) #alopeciaawareness.' The influencer shaved her hair last year, raising an incredible £13,000 for a children's hair loss charity after she developed alopecia herself following a series of traumatic events. Little Lady Locks relieves the needs of children up to the age of 18 who are suffering with hair loss due to alopecia or other conditions by the provision of wigs and hair systems. Last April, Kaz gave her first honest opinion on the new look, telling FUBAR Radio: 'I feel like a boy. I'd be lying if I said that I felt super confident or I love it. 'It's weird for me to not have my hair but you know if it means that I take a bit of my confidence away to give these girls their confidence, then I'll do that.' Kaz and her mother both cut their hair so they could make a wig for children who had lost their hair for various reasons. She explained: 'You know what she did. She literally went "I'm going to do it too" on the day and I was like "what" and she was like "yeah." Last April, Kaz gave her first honest opinion on the new look, admitting: 'I feel like a boy. I'd be lying if I said that I felt super confident or I love it' (left pictured before cutting her hair and right on Love Island All Stars in Feb) Kaz revealed she had suffered from hair loss as a result of 'stress' after she was held in a Dubai prison on suspicion of drug offences 'And they were like "how short do you want to go?" and she was like "the same." So they shaved her head and she just sat there meditating.' Kaz revealed she had suffered from hair loss as a result of 'stress' after she was held in a Dubai prison on suspicion of drug offences. Her ex-boyfriend leaked a video of her appearing to snort lines of white powder in Dubai in 2020, when hordes of influencers flocked to the city - that has a strict zero-tolerance drug policy - to escape Covid-19 restrictions in the UK. She was the detained at Abu Dhabi airport in 2023 ver the incriminating video, while transferring to a flight to Thailand, and then moved through several different Dubai prisons which she described as the 'lowest point in my whole life'. Following the ordeal, Kaz revealed her hair had thinned as she shared a picture of a bald patch at the front of her head. Alongside the images, Kaz wrote: 'Due to recent stress, I'm experiencing hair loss. It's got a lot thinner, I also have a small bald patch right at the front of my head. 'I'm trying to cover it by changing my parting or wearing one of my @kazbands (of course) but when I tie my hair up it's still so noticeable. 'In all honesty I'm pretty sure it's getting worse. I'm not usually one to care too much about what I look like but its starting to affect my confidence.'
