🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Welcome to Tsuyu , the plum rain season. Expect temperatures between +24°C and +28°C with high humidity (up to 80%). Gear Up: A sturdy umbrella is your best friend. Wear breathable, quick-dry fabrics and waterproof shoes. The Silver Lining: This is the peak of hydrangea ( Ajisai ) season—their blue and purple hues look most vibrant under overcast skies. Timing: Take advantage of the early sunrise (04:25) for quiet morning walks, but be prepared for sudden downpours in the afternoon.
