Tokyo’s weather is most comfortable in spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November), when temperatures range from 12°C to 25°C and skies are generally clear. The live forecast above shows current conditions, but planning around these shoulder seasons avoids both the humid summer and chilly winter.
What is the best time to visit Tokyo for pleasant weather?
April and October are ideal for Canadian travellers. April brings cherry blossoms and mild highs around 18°C, while October offers crisp air and autumn foliage with highs near 22°C. Both months require a light jacket for evenings. Summer (June to August) is hot and humid, often exceeding 30°C, with frequent rain and typhoon risks. Winter (December to February) is dry and sunny but cold, with daytime highs around 10°C and lows near 2°C.
What should I pack for Tokyo based on the season?
In spring and autumn, pack layers: a light jacket, long-sleeved shirts, and comfortable walking shoes. Summer demands breathable fabrics, an umbrella, and a fan; winter requires a warm coat, scarf, and gloves. For March break or snowbird timing (March), expect cool days and chilly evenings—a mid-weight jacket suffices. Always bring an umbrella from June to October.
Is Tokyo humid in summer?
Yes, July and August are very humid, with relative humidity often above 80%. This makes the heat feel more intense than in most Canadian cities. Air conditioning is common indoors, but plan outdoor activities for early morning or late evening.
Does Tokyo get snow?
Light snow falls once or twice a year, usually in January or February, but it rarely accumulates. The city is not equipped for heavy snow, so even a few centimetres can cause transport delays. Most winters are dry and sunny.
When is typhoon season in Tokyo?
Typhoon season runs from June to October, with peak activity in August and September. Storms can bring heavy rain and strong winds, sometimes disrupting flights and trains. Check forecasts closely if travelling during these months.
