The climate of Osaka (Japan)
Osaka is located on the Osaka Bay between the island of Honsu and the
island of Tsugoku. Osaka is the third largest city in Japan. The city
has a spectacular aquarium, several museums such as the National Art
Museum and several ancient sights such as Osaka castle. The centre of
Osaka can be divided into two parts: Minami and Kita. Minami is famous
for its shopping facilities and for going out.
Osaka has a moderate sea climate. A sea climate has fewer differences
in temperature than a land climate. However, summers are warm and
humid. Humidity figures and precipitation figures are high and
constant all year round. Especially summers may give you a clammy
feel. Skies are almost always overcast here. Winters are mild and
subzero temperatures are uncommon. Because of the supply of warm air
there is a risk of tropical storms in Osaka.

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:
