Beppu in January The fewest wet days of the year. Steam from the Hells rises sharply in the cold air, and rime ice can form on the summit of Mt. Tsurumi in winter. Snow is rare in town but the mountain is a different story, so bring an extra layer if you go up.
Days averaged 11°C and nights 3°C, cool enough that outdoor sightseeing called for a layer. Out of 31 days, about 4 brought rain; the rest stayed dry. 1 of 20 years had a completely dry January, while 2008 reached 8 rain days.
Days were short. Daylight grew from 10.0 to 10.6 hours across the month, so plan outdoor sights early. Nights dropped below 0°C on 4 days of the month on average, so early-morning paths could be icy. The warmest year was 2020, with highs averaging 12.9°C, 2.1°C above normal. Cold snaps happened: the record low for January was −4.8°C, set in 2016.
