Fukuoka: When to Go

Weather

The island of Kyūshū experiences extreme temperatures that vary tremendously from season to season. In the winter, it can still be quite cold, near freezing at night, and many of the mountains retain their snow caps for much of the year. During the rainy season it is inundated with heavy, often torrential rain. Summer is hot and oppressively humid, and autumn regularly brings typhoons. Landslides are a common problem in less built-up areas due to deforestation, logging, earthquakes, and rain. Travellers to Fukuoka should bring layers and a waterproof rain shell, as it is often too windy to use an umbrella.
