Kyoto in June

The rainy season starts, and temple gardens and hydrangeas are the classic wet-day outings. Humidity is high and laundry dries slowly, so it is worth checking that your lodging has a dryer. A compact umbrella is easier in narrow lanes.

June brought serious heat to Kyoto, 29°C on a typical afternoon and 20°C overnight. Early mornings were the best time to be outside. There were 11 rain days on average, roughly one day in three. Individual years ran between 6 and 17 rain days.

About 10 days a month still climbed past 30°C, the ones where you looked for shade. Rain days averaged 18 mm each, so when it rained it rained properly.
