While the weather in Osaka may not be its main draw, the city's climate offers mild and manageable conditions throughout most of the year.
Summers, specifically in July and August, can be hot and humid, with temperatures reaching highs of 95°F (35°C). The city's rainy season in June and sometimes into July brings consistent rainfall, making it the wettest period of the year.
Although winters from December to February are generally mild, with temperatures usually remaining above 50°F (10°C), occasional cold spells can see the mercury drop below this mark. Rainfall decreases during these winter months but begins increasing again in February.
Spring and autumn offer pleasant transitional weather, with mild days offering the ideal time of year to do some exploring.
