Fukuoka's Climate
Fukuoka is a port city on the northern coast of Kyushu in southwestern Japan, and its seaside position gives it a humid subtropical climate that is milder than the interior. Summers (June–September) are hot and humid, usually 28–34°C, opening with the tsuyu rainy season in June–July before a muggy stretch and the typhoon season of August–September. Winters (December–February) are mild, typically 4–10°C, brushed by cold winds off the Asian mainland and the odd light snow flurry. Spring, with its cherry blossoms, and cool, dry autumn are the loveliest times to visit.
