Hakone in July

After the rains lift, humidity makes Mt. Fuji nearly invisible, and it is still a rainy month. The Lake Ashi Summer Festival Week begins on July 31 and livens up the lakeside.

Hakone in July ran hot: 29°C by day and 23°C at night. By midday the shade was the best seat in town. About 12 days a month saw rain, enough that a wet-weather plan was worth having. A visitor in 2017 met 5 rain days; one in 2007 met 20. The average of 12 hid that gap.

Highs topped 30°C on 15 days of the month on average. Mixing in indoor stops at midday made sense. July 2024 averaged 32.5°C by day, 3.1°C above the 20-year mean. Rain days averaged 20 mm each, so when it rained it rained properly.
