Meaning and lesson

The proverb presents a dry May followed by a wet June as a favorable sequence of weather. It predicts that this pattern will help things develop well.

Its confidence is part of the point: June rain is not treated as a setback after a dry spring, but as the change that brings the season into better balance.

When it is used

Use the proverb when a dry May gives way to a rainy June and the speaker wants to express confidence about the season ahead. Its broad wording suits a general comment on growing conditions without making a precise prediction about any particular crop.
