Climate in Tokyo


JuteVilla
The former city of Tokyo and the majority of mainland Tokyo lie in the humid subtropical climate zone (K�ppen climate classification Cfa), with hot humid summers and generally mild winters with cool spells. The region, like much of Japan, experiences a one-month seasonal lag, with the warmest month being August, which averages 27.5 �C (81.5 �F), and the coolest month being January, averaging 6.0 �C (42.8 �F). The record low temperature is ?9.2 �C (15.4 �F), and the record high is 39.5 �C (103.1 �F), though there was once an unofficial reading of 42.7 �C (108.9 �F) at the Primary School Station. Annual rainfall averages nearly 1,530 millimetres (60.2 in), with a wetter summer and a drier winter. Snowfall is sporadic, but does occur almost annually. Tokyo also often sees typhoons each year, though few are strong. The last one to hit was Fitow in 2007, while the wettest month since records began in 1876 has been October 2004 with 780 millimetres (30 in) including 270.5 millimetres (10.6 in) on the ninth of that month
