The climate of Naha (Japan)
Naha is the capital of the Okinawa Islands. It also is the transport
centre of this archipelago. Most ferries put into this port. Naha is
connected with the rest of Japan via an airport. The city used to be
the capital of the Ryukyu kingdom, but most of the ancient buildings
from that era were destroyed during the battle of Okinawa. However,
this doesn’t mean the city has no sights left. The old Royal Palace
and the Royal manorial estate still remain intact and are certainly
worth visiting. If you prefer shopping and going out you have to be in
Kokusaidori street which can be found in the middle of the centre.
Because of the many restaurants and shops there is always something to
do here.
Naha has a subtropical climate. Temperatures hardly go below 20
degrees Celsius and humidity figures are high almost all year round.
During the summer months heavy rainfall is not uncommon. Tropical
storms and typhoons may occur during the autumn.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
