Kumamoto in November

Few wet days and plenty of clear skies. Daylight ends early, so it pays to start afternoon plans sooner. Mornings and evenings are chilly, so a thin down jacket or scarf helps. An extra scarf is welcome.

November was mild: 19°C by day, 9°C at night, the kind of range where you stop checking the thermometer. Nights ran about 10°C colder than the afternoons, so a layer earned its place in the bag. Out of 30 days, about 7 brought rain; the rest stayed dry. The driest year, 2007, had 2 rain days; the wettest, 2015, had 11.

Nights fell below 5°C on 4 days on average. Not every year was typical: 2022 ran 2.2°C warmer than the mean, with highs of 21.2°C. The lowest night on record was 1°C in 2017.
