🌤️ September Tokyo Weather & What to Wear
September in Tokyo sits at the boundary between summer and autumn. While midday temperatures can still exceed 30°C (86°F), mornings and evenings bring pleasant breezes.
- Weather characteristics: Early September feels like late summer in Korea - hot and humid. But as the month progresses, it becomes more comfortable. Typhoons may bring rain, so check weather forecasts frequently.
- Recommended outfit: Breathable short-sleeved shirts are essential. However, bring a light cardigan or windbreaker for air-conditioned indoors and cooler mornings/evenings. Don't forget a compact folding umbrella and comfortable walking shoes!
