Kumamoto in February

Wet days clearly outnumber January's. Late winter still means cold mornings and softer afternoons, so you will be taking a jacket on and off. A warm drink makes a walk around the castle easier.

Days averaged 13°C and nights 3°C, cool enough that outdoor sightseeing called for a layer. Nights ran about 10°C colder than the afternoons, so a layer earned its place in the bag. Out of 28 days, about 8 brought rain; the rest stayed dry. The driest year, 2008, had 3 rain days; the wettest, 2012, had 12.

Frost touched 6 nights of the month on average, enough to glaze puddles and shaded steps at first light. Not every year was typical: 2009 ran 2.8°C warmer than the mean, with highs of 15.5°C. The coldest night came in 2025, at −5.2°C.

Typhoons i No tropical storm passed within 300 km in this month over the last 20 years. Typhoons: May and July to October
