Kobe in August Hot, but with less rain than July. The Minato Kobe fireworks used to be in August and have been an autumn event since 2022, so do not count on them for a summer trip. Some shops close around Obon.
Days averaged 33°C and nights 27°C. Midday was for air conditioning, a cold drink or a long lunch out of the sun. 7 rain days in a typical August: noticeable, but most days stayed dry. A visitor in 2010 met 2 rain days; one in 2014 met 15. The average of 7 hid that gap.
With 27 days above 30°C on average, most of the month felt like high summer. Rain days averaged 19 mm each, so when it rained it rained properly.
Typhoons i 10 of the last 20 years had a tropical storm pass within 300 km this month.
