Weather in Tokyo

Best time to visit

Tokyo, the largest city in the world, enjoys a humid subtropical climate with fairly mild winters and humid summers.

Spring (March to May) is the best time to visit Tokyo as the weather is mild with plenty of sunny days. From late March to mid-April, parks across Tokyo are ablaze with cherry blossom and the city gets busy with many Sakura (cherry blossom) festivals. In April, the average temperate is 14°C (57°F).

Summer (June to August) is hot, humid and rainy. June is often the wettest month while August is the warmest month. Built-up areas in central Tokyo can feel warmer than usual due to the heat being stored in buildings and pavement. In August, the average high is 29°C (79°F) while the average low is 23°C (73°F).

Autumn (September to November) is also a popular time to visit Tokyo, but bring an umbrella if you are visiting in September and October as the average precipitation is still over 200mm (8 inches) a month. By November though, rain frequency has decreased and you get cool, crispy autumn days. Temperatures wise, the average high is 15°C (59°F) and the average low is 9°C (48°F) in November.

Winter (December to February) is mild with little chance of snow. January is often the coldest month with an average high of 8°C (46°F).
