Kobe's Climate
Kobe is a coastal port city in the Kansai region of western Japan, wedged between Osaka Bay and the Rokko mountains, and has a humid subtropical climate with four distinct seasons. Summers (June–September) are hot and humid, with daytime highs usually 30–34°C; early summer brings the tsuyu rainy season in June and July, while August and September are the typhoon season, which can deliver heavy rain and strong winds. Winters (December–February) are cool and dry, with days around 8–12°C and snow rare along the coast. Spring, with its cherry blossoms, and autumn, with red foliage, are dry, mild and the loveliest time of year.
