Tokyo Weather in July
Planning a trip to Japan in July? Here's what the weather will actually feel like in Tokyo — and what it means for your packing list, your day-to-day plans, and whether July is the right month to visit.
July in Tokyo is hot, humid, and still rainy. Highs run from the low to upper 80s°F, lows stay in the 70s, and the humidity makes it feel a lot more aggressive than the numbers suggest — closer to Miami in summer than anywhere in northern Asia. The tsuyu rainy season is winding down but you'll still see 10–12 days of rain, and severe thunderstorms become a real risk this month.
Meteorologist Ian Schwartz breaks down what to expect.
