Weather
Kyūshū, while more southern than much of Japan, has extremes that vary tremendously season to season. In the winter it can be quite cold, near freezing at night, and many of the mountains retain their snowcaps for much of the year. During the rainy season the island is inundated with heavy, often torrential rain. Travellers should bring layers and a waterproof rain shell, as it is often too windy to use an umbrella. Summer is hot and humid, and autumn regularly brings typhoons, along with the surfers who follow.
