The links above are the May and June 2013 accumulated global precipitation map. If you toggle between the two you will see that the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone or ITCZ (The Metrological Equator) has moved North after the rise of the spring New Moon into the Northern Hemisphere. Take note of the buildup of precipitation along the 60th parallel. This is a function of the Hadley Circulation

As the moisture in the ITCZ builds, the Hadley Circulation moves moisture north and south from the ITCZ. Over the cycle of the New Moon Path the range of the extremes of latitude of the year goes from a maximum of 28 degrees north and south to 18 degrees north and south. The current condition is the latter. The Hadley circulation operates year round pealing moisture off the ITCZ and sending it away from the equator. Since this range is closest to the ITCZ now it has the greatest effect, thus the buildup of accumulated moisture in the North Pacific Ocean off the east coast of Japan that has been observed over the past few years.
