The climate of Tokyo (Japan)
Tokyo is the largest metropolis in the world. About 35 million Japanese live and work here. Tokyo is the capital of Japan. The government and the imperial family reside here. The metropolis of Tokyo which has 23 official districts is located in the south eastern part of the largest island of Japan: Honsu. Because of Tokyo’s location on the Pacific it there is often a supply of moist air from the Pacific. There tends to be an easterly or south-easterly current which causes showers sometimes combined with heavy winds.
Tokyo has a moderate sea climate. Fairly dry winters are being alternated with warm and wet summers. Wet streets in combination with bright neon lights make for breathtaking sights of which you can take spectacular photographs. During late summer and autumn the risk of heavy rains and fierce winds rapidly increases. During this period there also is a risk of hurricanes and tropical storms.

Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather, extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate information for each month of the year:
