Beppu in August Midday heat is at its strongest this month. Around Obon in mid-August many Japanese travel too, and roads fill up. Typhoons approach Japan most often in August, and if one crosses Kyushu, trains and buses can stop.
Highs averaged 32°C and lows stayed at 24°C, so the heat hung on long after sunset. Showers came now and then, about 9 rain days in all, and most of the month stayed dry. The average is 9, but individual years ran from 2 (2016) to 18 (2014).
With 26 days above 30°C on average, most of the month felt like high summer. Not every year was typical: 2013 ran 2.1°C warmer than the mean, with highs of 34.4°C. Wet days did not mess around: about 21 mm each, the kind of rain that drives you into a doorway.
Typhoons i 10 of the last 20 years had a tropical storm pass within 300 km this month.
