🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: June in Japan is the heart of the "Tsuyu" rainy season. Expect temperatures between +24°C and +28°C with high humidity that makes the air feel heavy. Frequent drizzles and sudden afternoon showers are common, so a transparent umbrella (available at any 7-Eleven) is your best friend. For drivers, this means atmospheric, misty mountain views, but requires extra caution on wet turns. Clothing tip: Wear breathable, quick-dry fabrics and waterproof footwear.
