Kumamoto in October The most settled month after January, with few wet days. Clear days suit city strolls and the castle, and a trip out to Aso is a good bet on a fine day. Days are comfortable for activity, while mornings and evenings are cool.
Afternoons reached 26°C and nights settled at 16°C, warm enough to linger over lunch outdoors. The temperature swung about 10°C within a single day, so midday and evening called for different clothes. Showers came now and then, about 6 rain days in all, and most of the month stayed dry. Counts moved moderately between years: 3 in 2006, 14 in 2017.
About 3 days a month still climbed past 30°C, the ones where you looked for shade. The warmest year was 2025, with highs averaging 27.5°C, 2.0°C above normal.
Typhoons i 4 of the last 20 years had a tropical storm pass within 300 km this month.
