🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: June in Tokyo is the heart of the Tsuyu (rainy season). Expect temperatures between +24°C and +28°C with high humidity that makes it feel much warmer. Rain is frequent—often a persistent drizzle but occasionally heavy. Attire: Wear light, breathable, quick-drying fabrics. A high-quality compact umbrella or a stylish poncho is essential. Footwear: Waterproof sneakers or sandals that handle wet pavement well are a must. Pro Tip: June is the peak season for Hydrangeas (Ajisai) ; their vibrant blues and purples look most stunning under overcast skies.
