Weather in Japan
I met a Japanese man who told me how much better the weather was in Japan than in Hawaii, because Japan had 4 seasons. Personally, I like
the fact that we can pretty much wear the same type of clothes all year ’round.
However, after living in Japan for 12 years, I did get used to the seasons and do
miss it every so often. The sounds of summer, the colors of spring and fall, the ramen
and udon tasting especially good during the winter.
Here I have listed some of the better sites for checking into the weather in Japan.
In Japanese: www.tenki.or.jp gives you a quick snapshot of the weather across the whole country. If you scroll down a bit, you can click on a specific region and get more detailed weather information.
In English: The Japan Meteorological Agency provides a lot of information on General weather, Airport weather, Weather maps, Warnings and Advisories.
Other great sources that I like are Yahoo Weather and Accuweather.com
If you plan to visit or move to Japan be sure you do your homework and check the weather conditions before you go. Keep in mind, that Typhoon season will start about the end of August and end around November.
