Good to Know
- Spring (March–May) and autumn (October–November) offer ideal conditions with pleasant temperatures (15–25°C (59–77°F) / 59–77°F), lower humidity, and minimal rain; April peaks with cherry blossoms but draws crowds and higher prices.
- Summer (June–August) is hot, humid (75%+ humidity), and rainy—especially June and July with intense tsuyu (rainy season)—plus typhoon risk August–September; avoid if humidity bothers you.
- Winter (December–February) is the mildest and driest season with temperatures 3–10°C (37–50°F), fewer crowds, and best accommodation deals; snow is rare and light when it occurs.
- Bring an umbrella March–October; the extended rainy period covers both tsuyu season and typhoon months.
- Typhoons occasionally impact the city (August–September) with sudden storms; monitor forecasts if visiting then.
- Humidity remains fairly constant year-round (64–76%), reflecting Fukuoka's coastal location.
