Nagoya in May Shinkansen and rooms are crowded in Golden Week. After it ends there are more clear days and longer daylight, which is good for strolling. A fine time to walk around Nagoya Castle or a park.
Afternoons reached 25°C and nights settled at 15°C, warm enough to linger over lunch outdoors. With 10 rain days on average, a wet day was rarely more than a few days away. Counts moved moderately between years: 6 in 2013, 15 in 2025.
About 1 day a month still climbed past 30°C, the ones where you looked for shade. Wet days did not mess around: about 17 mm each, the kind of rain that drives you into a doorway.
