And, then there is Southern California where I lived for a long time. When it rains, people run for shelter, as if there is a volcanic eruption!
Reminds me of a mate that lives in London. It was amusing to see him have multiple umbrellas at home, one in the office, one in his car next to the passenger seat and one in the boot, a smaller one in his laptop bag and possibly a 007 version in his wallet. He is from San Diego. ;) |
The weather in late September into October (i.e. now) is probably the best time to visit Tokyo. I departed last week on a glorious day with temps in the 20-28 range. It's nice that it cools down to about 20ish this time of year. Also a great time to hike Mt. Fuji.
Also, the key is not the relative humidity but the dew point. They never publish it but my guess it's down to around 15C this time of year, which is great. In early August this year it felt like a dew point as high as 23C-25C. |

In early August this year it felt like a dew point as high as 23C-25C. +1 on Mt. Fuji. I did it mid-October once. From the very bottom to the top. Ran into a few people at the 5th station, but otherwise we did not see a soul on the mountain. There were a few inches of snow from 5th station up to the top. Coming down was like running on a sand dune. We made it from the top back to the 5th station in less than 30 minutes. |

Interestingly, in Tokyo the locals are used to the humidity. I mean, I am sure it does make them feel uncomfortable, but I did not see anyone sweating. But then again, in the NW, we are used to the rain, and walking in the rain does not bother the locals. Some don't even get wet in the pouring rain! And, then there is Southern California where I lived for a long time. When it rains, people run for shelter, as if there is a volcanic eruption! I guess people adjust to each climate accordingly.

Some of this is either genetics or biological adjustment to long term climatic conditions.
