🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Welcome to the Tsuyu (Rainy Season). Expect temperatures between +24°C and +28°C with high humidity that makes it feel like a steam bath. Rain is highly likely—carry a transparent umbrella (available at any 7-Eleven or Lawson for ¥600). Wear light, quick-drying fabrics and comfortable waterproof shoes. Since the sun rises at 04:24, early starts are your best friend to beat the midday mugginess.
