 Tokyo
: Winter |
| |
Winter lasts from December to February, with
many days of low temperature. Even in the central part of
the city, it sometimes snows, although the snow seldom piles
up. The daytime hours are shortened, as the sun sets around
4:30-5:30 p.m.
Meanwhile, in the vicinity of the Ogasawara islands, the
temperature stays somewhere around 20 C? even in mid-winter,
but in the Okutama area, it snows much and the snow often
piles up. This shows the variety of winter situations in
Tokyo depending on the area.

: Summer |
| |
From June to August is the hottest season of the year.
Especially after the rainy season, there are many days in
July and August when the temperature exceeds 30 C? and the
humidity is high. Such days are called mid-summer days,
which often persist for some time. In August, there are
quite a few days when the temperature does not fall lower
than 25 C? even after the sunset-so-called tropical nights
-when it is difficult to sleep well due to the heat. The
summer solstice, with the longest day of the year, comes
in June.

: Spring |
| |
Spring is from March to May. In early spring, there are
still cold days when a heavy coat is needed, but in May it
gets warm enough during the day that only a short-sleeved
shirt is needed. Although there may be days when it gets colder
in the morning and evening, most days are generally warm and
comfortable. The tourist sites, therefore, are crowded with
many people enjoying the balmy weather especially when the
sky is clear and the humidity is low -an ideal condition for
sightseeing.

: Autumn |
| |
Autumn is from September to November. In September, there
are still hot days when the temperature rises above 30 C?
in the daytime. Sometimes typhoons hit Tokyo in October.
But in general, the temperature and humidity gradually fall
with more and more examples of pleasant weather known as
"glorious autumnal days".
In the Okutama area, beautiful scenery unfolds as the leaves
turn to take on their autumn tints from October.
