Tokyo experiences four distinct seasons with hot, humid summers and cool, dry winters that occasionally see light snow.

June marks the start of tsuyu, the rainy season, when a waterproof layer becomes as essential as your morning coffee.

Summer temperatures regularly climb above 30°C with stifling humidity, while winter averages hover around 5-10°C.

The city's humidity peaks during summer and the rainy season, making moisture-wicking fabrics worth their weight in gold.

Layering is the unspoken dress code year-round, as Tokyo's buildings blast air conditioning in summer and heating in winter to extremes that would startle a penguin.
